Sparkly, red, white, and pink marshmallows are a fun and easy treat for Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day marshmallows
Here’s a super quick and easy idea (or rather, reminder, as I posted these similar New Year’s Eve marshmallows) for Valentine’s Day, red and pink sparkly Valentine’s Day marshmallows.
My favorite marshmallow hack: Skewer marshmallows with lollipop sticks, dip in water, then coat with sprinkles.
Those are pretty much the entire how-to right there. These are great for Valentine’s Day classroom parties too.

how to make Valentine’s Day sparkly marshmallows
you will need:*
skewers and/or lollipop sticks
marshmallows
red and pink sprinkles
bowl of water
*Find lollipop sticks and sprinkles in the craft store (especially this time of year). A finer, sanding sugar works best, but any will do.
what to do:
Skewer marshmallows. Pour sprinkles in two bowls, one for red, one for pink (I prefer using only one color of sprinkles per marshmallow, but you can also mix the red and the pink).
Quickly dip marshmallow in water and remove immediately, shake off excess drops of water, hold over the sprinkles bowl, spoon sprinkles generously over marshmallow to coat.
Stand marshmallows up in a jar or in a block of styrofoam until dry.

Sue Sparks says
Who knew you could do SO MUCH with a marshmallow? You could write a cookbook devoted to them! I love the sparkle! You're so creative!
An Almost Unschooling Mom says
I agree with Sue, a marshmallow themed cookbook would be fun.

Chic Cookies says
Thanks all! (Sue, can you tell my agent that?) I will also post more cookies soon, anonymous, so sorry to pound you with marshmallows! (when the demands of life–full time with a two year old,our fixer upper,my column, my biz, a hubby in the reserves, etc—mean I can't get in the kitchen so much, marshmallows are an easy go-to. But I definitely understand it's not what's advertised, so I'll leave your comment untouched in case others feel the same…
Catherine says
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of the ideas! Keep the marshmallow treats coming! (By the way, for the anonymous commenter that doesn't like them, maybe you should keep your negative thoughts to yourself and realize what great ideas these are, your negativity comes across as bitter and jealous)
Chic Cookies says
Thanks for the kudos, Catherine! (No sweat, though, I can take the critique! Always useful to get both good and not so good feedback…Makes us better, right?)
Jennifer says
Oh man-perfect for me…fast & effective. All done 'Anthroing' the house? I know, it is never done
Chic Cookies says
oh, so not even close to done. We did so much reno so fast I've been horribly lazy the last couple months. But I have ideas, does that count?

Adrorable! We made homemade marshmallows this year, my son wanted them to be red and pink but I avoided it completely thinking meh, food coloring will ruin 'em. But this idea? Takes it to awesome!
3XMom says
we did these during the crazy blizzard we are having in the mid-atlantic – killed probably 1/2 hour -and so cute! Thanks!
Chic Cookies says
Thanks! yep, charlene, WAY better alternative! (and adds a bit of crunch, too). Thanks, 3Xmom! I'm in DC staring at many feet of snow, so I was glad to give my 2 year old some marshmallows, too!
Dusty says
