Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips using either the double boiler or microwave method (see steps 5-9).
Dip half of each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
Immediately sprinkle with your desired toppings (sprinkles, chopped nuts, sea salt, etc.).
Serve immediately for a gooey treat or chill in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
**To melt chocolate using a double boiler:** Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted, about 2-3 minutes.
