When using nonpareils (tiny ball sprinkles), the process is the same. Spray the mini marshmallows lightly with water and then coat them with nonpareils. Place them on parchment paper to dry.
Once the water has dried, store the decorated mini marshmallows in an airtight container.
Can I use other kinds of sprinkles to decorate the marshmallows?
Yes, you can use the same process for how to decorate mini marshmallows with other colors of sprinkles and other types of sprinkles for every holiday and occasion. Water alone isn’t enough to adhere large, heavy sprinkles to the marshmallows. If the sprinkles are large and heavy, you would need to use melted white chocolate chips or almond bark.
Is the process the same with large marshmallows?
Yes, you can use the same step for how to decorate marshmallows with large marshmallows. For the best results, only decorate one large marshmallow at a time. And of course, you will need way more sprinkles since there is a larger area to cover.
Use the decorated marshmallows on mugs of hot cocoa or in hot chocolate bombs.
