Dipping the marshmallows in chocolate can be a messy process, but you can guide the kids along by pouring the melted chocolate into a tall, clear glass. This will prevent the chocolate from splashing or spilling everywhere and still ensure that each marshmallow gets an even, complete coating. Print
