Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats

Do you know what marshmallows are? They're like a soft and squishy treat that's made from sugar, water, and gelatin. They're really yummy on their own, but have you ever had a marshmallow treat that's coated in chocolate?

So, what happens is that someone takes a bunch of marshmallows and squishes them all together into a big block. Then, they cut that block into smaller pieces that are about the size of a snack. Next, they melt some chocolate and dip each little marshmallow piece into the chocolate. Once they're all covered in chocolate, they let them cool and harden.

And voila! You've got yourself a chocolate-coated marshmallow treat! They're kind of like a candy bar, but with a soft and sweet inside instead of something crunchy like nuts. They're really popular around holidays, especially Halloween and Easter - have you ever seen those marshmallow chicks or bunnies that are covered in chocolate?

So, the next time you're craving something sweet and squishy, give a chocolate-coated marshmallow treat a try!
