- While the caramel is still warm, use a wooden spoon to pour caramel over top of the marshmallows to completely coat them in caramel – allowing any extra caramel to drip off the marshmallows and back into the pan!
- Place the coated marshmallows on the prepared baking sheet and repeat this process until all of your marshmallows are coated! Then place the baking sheet in the refrigerate to chill for 30 minutes.
- Place the white chocolate in a deep microwave safe dish. Place in the microwave and melt in 30-second increments, stirring between increments, until smooth.

Notes
Make sure your caramel and chocolate are fresh. Stale caramel and chocolates won’t melt as well.
