Why This Recipe Works

We use big marshmallows with all manner of garnishes to create our Confetti Kebabs. We coated each marshmallow with melted chocolate—milk, semisweet, or bittersweet—for flavor and to provide something for the toppings to adhere to. Finely chopped nuts, sprinkles, nonpareils, and toasted flaked coconut made flavorful and colorful garnishes.
