Forget Chocolate-Covered Strawberries - Wrap Them In Melted Marshmallows Instead - Tasting Table

Butter a non-stick pan and melt marshmallows over low heat by pushing them across the warm surface in straight lines. Pierce whole strawberries at the stem with a skewer such as chopsticks, straws, or forks, then place the strawberry at one end of the melted marshmallow line. Slowly twirl the skewer to move the berry outward so the marshmallow wraps around it completely. Set the wrapped strawberries aside to cool and repeat for more berries. The result is a rich, slightly crunchy marshmallow shell with a candied feel, while strawberry juiciness balances toasted marshmallow sweetness. Colored or flavored marshmallows and toppings like sprinkles, coconut, nuts, cookies, or crumbs add variety and visual appeal.

Yellow, lemon-flavored marshmallows would create a nice contrast to the vibrant strawberry, meanwhile pink, raspberry-flavored options would build upon the berry flavor."

"Right after you wrap the berry in the pillowy confection, the exterior is slightly sticky, allowing you to top the treat with colorful sprinkles, shredded coconut, crushed nuts, crumbled cookies, or even fr"
