The gift giving season is upon us and there is nothing like making a homemade gift and sharing tasty recipes with all of the people in your life that give you so much throughout the year like military, teachers, garbagemen, and mailmen.

These chocolate marshmallow ornaments are the perfect DIY food gift to give this holiday season and I am making plenty so I can spread the cheer this holiday season with all of the people I want to thank for helping me throughout the year.

These DIY Food Gifts are perfect for the holidays. They are so easy to make and she even shows you how to color the chocolate perfectly.

My daughter has several teachers that we want to send a food gift to and our friend Bob who is single veteran that loves home cooking, is sure to enjoy these chocolate marshmallow ornaments. I have found the perfect way to package them for gifting as well as the best way to keep them fresh, by using Rubbermaid TakeAlongs.

I’m not the only one who loves this brand because Rubbermaid has been a trusted name for over 80 years and they have been helping make the holidays a success for just as long. Plus they come in a variety of colors and shapes that are sure to make the perfect gift this holiday season no matter what you are whipping up!

Rubbermaid Take Alongs

The first step in creating these DIY food gifts is picking up your supplies from Walmart. I headed to the baking aisle to get the marshmallows, decorative icings & sugars, white chocolate, and food coloring. While I was shopping I found the Rubbermaid TakeAlongs in several places throughout the store. They were in a bin in the middle of the grocery section, on an endcap in the housewares department and on a shelf in the seasonal section as well.

How to Make Chocolate Marshmallow Ornaments

Once you have your supplies, it’s time to get into the spirit of creating DIY food gifts and seasonal treats for your loved ones.

The first step is to color your chocolate. Begin by melting your chocolate in the microwave for about 45 seconds and then carefully adding drops of the desired colors to the bowl.

How to Color Chocolate

Once you have your colors added stir the chocolate until well blended making sure to get out any dark spots. If it begins to thicken and become chalky, add a few drops of water to the chocolate and stir, this will thin it enough to dip marshmallows in but only add a little at a time because you don’t want to dilute the flavor.

Dip your marshmallows into the chocolate and swirl it around to ensure it is fully covered. Set on parchment paper until it hardens but add any sprinkles or sugar glitter before it dries.

Once it has been sprinkled and has begun to dry, you can being to decorate with your choice of icing.

We dipped our marshmallows into the colored chocolate then sprinkled red and green glitters on top. We left some chocolate white because it really made the blue icing and the silver glitter pop.

After the icing dries you can being packaging these in your Rubbermaid TakeAlongs. I picked up the TakeAlongs Rectangles, and the TakeAlongs Deep Squares because this recipe fit perfectly in these shapes but there are so many varieties you can find the perfect size and shape for every food gift you make this holiday season.

Plus since they are microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe, this is the gift that keeps on giving.
