These chocolate peppermint marshmallow cups are perfect for gifting. Wrap a generous stack in these treat bags for gift wrapping and share the love with your friends, family, teachers and neighbors.
Can I make these chocolate peppermint marshmallow cups ahead of time?
Yes! Once they are set in the freeze, you no longer need to keep them refrigerated. They tolerate room temperature well and the marshmallow will stay fluffy for days!
Can I use dark chocolate in place or milk chocolate?
Absolutely! You can use any type of chocolate you like. In fact, the last time I made a batch of my chocolate peppermint cups I used this super healthy chocolate chips that are SUGAR FREE, low-carb and keto-friendly and they came out perfect!
Can I use regular marshmallows instead of marshmallow fluff?
No. You will need to use marshmallow fluff to be able to manipulate the marshmallow into a layer that sits evenly on top of the milk chocolate and attaches to both top and bottom layers of chocolate. Otherwise the chocolate will fall apart.

Chocolate Peppermint Marshmallow Cups
Ingredients
- 9 oz milk chocolate chips
- 9 oz white chocolate chips
- 7.5 oz marshmallow fluff
- 2 tablespoon peppermint sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt milk chocolate in microwave or a double boiler until creamy and smooth. If microwaving be sure to pause and stir every 15 seconds until completely melted. If using double boiler method, stir often until completely melted
- Scoop about ½ tablespoon of melted milk chocolate into a pepper or silicone muffin mold. You will need 12 muffin molds. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Add the marshmallow fluff to a pastry bag or ziplock bag. Cut a small opening at the tip of the bag enough that your finger can pass through (the marshmallow fluff is pretty thick).
- When the milk chocolate is set, add a dollop of marshmallow fluff on top. To do this simply twist the bag as you release the marshmellow fluff on to the milk chocolate forming a circle nearning the edge of the chocolate cup. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in microwave or double boiler, similarly to step one with milk chocolate. If the white chcolate looks dry add a teaspoon of coconut oil.
- Add a ½ tablespoon of white chocolate covering all or most of the marshmallow. You can also drizzle instead. Add peppermint sprinkles while the chocolate is still soft. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.

I haven't tried with these, I am not sure how the marshmallow will keep. Sorry about that!
