Fast and Easy Chocolate-Dipped Treats! -PartyPerfect

Hello, and welcome to something new here on the Piece-of-Cake blog: PartyPerfect! PartyPerfect will be a series of posts where I share my favorite foods for parties. I am super excited for this because... I love parties!

In this PartyPerfect, I'm going to share some of my favorite chocolate covered treats that are easy to make and loads of fun at parties, or any other time really! So here they are:

1. Marshmallows
These are so much fun because they are so customizable. You can add sprinkles and other types of toppings, varying types of chocolate, or even colored/flavored marshmallows! The possibilities here are endless! And for a fun party activity (especially for a child's or teen's party) you can set out the ingredients and let the guests make their own! My favorite thing about these is biting into one and getting a mouthful of smooth, melty chocolate combined with deliciously squishy marshmallow.

2. Strawberries
Anybody who's tasted a chocolate-dipped strawberry knows what I'm talking when I say a flavor combination couldn't be more perfect. Though these are common, or maybe even overdone, I decided to include them because of the many decoration options: sprinkles, chocolate drizzles, etc., or you can get really creative like these wedding ones, but where the real fun happens is with a chocolate fountain!

3. Fruit Kebabs
Chocolate drizzled fruit kebabs are super simple, but taste amazing. Again these are very customizable. One of my favorites is strawberry, banana, and kiwi. These are also great with marshmallows. As with the strawberries, you can take these to the next level with a chocolate fountain.

I hope you all enjoy these ideas! Thanks for reading, bye!
