How To Make Candy Corn Marshmallows
DYE THE COCONUT. Put two cups of coconut flakes in a ziplock bag with several drops of yellow food coloring. Mix until combined, adding more coloring, as needed, until you get your desired color. Repeat with the orange coloring.
DRY THE COCONUT. Pour the coconut flakes onto a piece of parchment paper and let it dry.
DIP + SET. Melt the chocolate in the microwave according to package directions.
Dip your marshmallow into the melted chocolate, then roll it into the coconut. Set on a piece of wax paper until the chocolate sets.
Repeat with all the marshmallows in each color – 13 white, 13 yellow, 13 orange. (You will have some ingredients left over.)
ASSEMBLE – Threading a yellow marshmallow onto the stick and sliding it almost 1/2 way down. Add an orange marshmallow, then a white one…. and that’s it!
