How to Dip Dye Marshmallows with Food Coloring

Looking for a fun treat to make with kids? Let me show you how to Dip Dye Marshmallows with Food Coloring! For more Easter fun, see my Spring + Easter page.

Who knew you could dip dye marshmallows? Well, apparently not me, until now! This is a super fun and easy treat for the kids to make, too.

I was looking around the marshmallow section in the grocery store, and man, are there so many different kinds of marshmallows these days. Some are already dipped. You can just add a stick, and they can be instant party treats!

The marshmallows I used for this project are the large, thin rectangular s’mores version. I bought some super cute mini cookie cutters, and the s’mores marshmallows are the perfect size to cut out the mini shapes.

The S’more Mallows are, however, a Limited Edition, so grab some while you can. Otherwise, you can just use large marshmallows to cut out the shapes. Then just dye them, let them dry, and you have a yummy, colorful treat.

Here’s how to make this DIY marshmallow treat!

How to Dip Dye Marshmallows with Food Coloring

Supplies:

• Kraft Jet-Puffed S’more Mallows
• McCormick’s “Neon” Food Color/Egg Dye
• Wilton’s Spring Mini Cookie Cutters

Instructions:

• Cut shapes out of the marshmallows with the mini cookie cutters.
• Press the cutter down in the center of the marshmallow and gently wiggle to cut all the way through.
• Gently pull the marshmallow out of the cutter.
• Fill small bowls with water, around a 1/4 cup each.
• Mix 3-6 drops of each color of food coloring.
• Adjust the drops to make the colors lighter or darker, like you would when coloring Easter eggs.
• Soak the marshmallows in water for 1 minute and remove them, and lay them on a cooling rack to dry.
• Enjoy!

Such a fun way to keep the kids busy on boring days. This is a great alternative to dying Easter eggs as well.
