Valentine’s Day Chocolate Dipped Marshmallow Arrows

January 20, 2016

Valentine's Day Chocolate Dipped Marshmallow Arrow Treats with printable target gift tags

Now that Landon is two, it’s been so fun to get him involved in holiday activities. He thoroughly enjoys anything hands on, and loves being a big helper in the kitchen. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we’ve been thinking up fun ways to celebrate the holiday and make Valentines for the kids in his classroom. We recently got together with some close friends of ours, Lynzy of Sparkling Footsteps and her daughter Olivia, to make these fun chocolate dipped marshmallow arrows for Valentine’s Day!

We first placed the marshmallows on these fun heart straws which served as the base of the arrow. We then melted the chocolate and placed some of these fun Valentines sprinkles on a dish for the kids to dip the chocolate covered marshmallow into. Landon and Olivia had a BLAST doing this. However, I think more sprinkles made it into their mouths than they did on the marshmallows 😉

Once all the marshmallows were dipped, we stuck the straws into a piece of styrofoam to allow the chocolate to dry. Since waiting is the hardest part, Lynzy and I kept the kids occupied with a fun kids Valentine’s Day match game! You can head over to to download this FREE printable!

Once they were dry, and while the kids were still playing, Lynzy and I attached the arrow ends that we cut out of construction paper to the opposite end of the straw using some washi tape. This completed the “arrow” look! We then wrapped the marshmallows in a cellophane bag and attached the most adorable target gift tag.

    How adorable and fun! I did something similar to this last year, but sans the marshmallow. Of course, that is such a great and yummy idea.
