How to Make Valentine's Candy Skewers
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
Place the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely melted and smooth.
Step 2: Decorate the Marshmallows
Dip one side of each marshmallow into the melted chocolate.
Immediately roll or sprinkle with Valentine's Day sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
Place the decorated marshmallows on wax paper or parchment paper until the chocolate sets.
Step 3: Build the Candy Skewers
Thread the candies onto bamboo skewers, alternating colors, shapes, and textures.
Mix marshmallows, gummy candies, jelly hearts, Airheads, and other Valentine's treats to create colorful, eye-catching skewers.
Try not to place too many heavy candies together so the skewer stays balanced.
Step 4: Display or Package
Once assembled, they're ready to enjoy!
Package each skewer in a pretzel rod bag and tie it with festive ribbon for a cute homemade gift.
