Tigger Tails Recipe

Introduction

Tigger Tails are a fun and tasty treat that bring a splash of bright orange and rich caramel flavor to marshmallows on a stick. Perfect for parties or a playful dessert, these sticky, sweet bites are sure to delight kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

• 24 large marshmallows
• 1 bag caramel bits (11 oz.)
• 1 bag orange candy melts (12 oz.)
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

1. Step 1: Stack 4 marshmallows on each candy stick to create a tower of treats.
2. Step 2: Melt the caramel bits according to the package directions and let them cool slightly. Dip each marshmallow stack into the caramel, coating them fully. Gently shake off any excess caramel, then place the sticks on parchment paper to let the caramel harden for about 15 minutes.
3. Step 3: Melt the orange candy melts following the package instructions, ensuring the candy is just melted and not too hot. Dip each caramel-coated marshmallow stick into the orange candy melts, covering the caramel completely. Shake off excess and place on parchment to harden.
4. Step 4: Combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled Tigger Tails using a spoon or squeeze bottle.
5. Step 5: Allow the chocolate drizzle to cool and harden completely before serving to ensure a neat finish.

Tips & Variations

• Use wooden skewers or sturdy lollipop sticks for easy handling and dipping.
• Substitute orange candy melts with yellow or red for a different color twist.
• For extra crunch, sprinkle finely chopped nuts or crushed pretzels over the caramel before dipping in candy melts.
• If coconut oil is not available, vegetable oil can be used to melt the chocolate chips smoothly.

Storage

Store Tigger Tails in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Keep them away from heat and moisture to maintain their crunch and prevent the coatings from melting. For longer storage, refrigerate them in a sealed container, but allow to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate instead of candy melts?

Yes, you can substitute candy melts with white or colored chocolate chips, but candy melts are designed to harden smoothly and hold shape better. Regular chocolate may require tempering to set properly.

What can I do if the caramel is too hot when dipping?

Allow the caramel to cool slightly before dipping the marshmallows—you want it warm enough to coat but not so hot that it melts the marshmallows or candy melts. Letting it rest for 5–10 minutes after melting usually works well.

Instructions

1. Stack the marshmallows: Place 4 large marshmallows on each candy stick, creating a vertical stack to form the base of the Tigger Tail.
2. Melt and coat with caramel: Melt the caramel bits according to package instructions, then let cool slightly to avoid melting marshmallows. Dip each marshmallow stack completely into the warm caramel, gently shaking off excess caramel. Lay the coated marshmallows on parchment paper and allow the caramel to harden, which takes about 15 minutes.
3. Melt and coat with orange candy melts: Following package directions, melt the orange candy melts until just smooth and warm, not hot. Dip each caramel-coated marshmallow stack into the melted candy, covering them entirely. Shake off excess and place onto parchment paper again to let the candy shell harden.
4. Prepare the chocolate drizzle: In a small bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Using a spoon or food-grade squeeze bottle, drizzle the melted chocolate over the orange-coated marshmallows to create decorative patterns.
5. Set and serve: Let the chocolate drizzle cool and fully harden before serving to maintain the perfect texture and presentation.

Notes

• Be sure to allow each coating layer to fully harden before moving on to the next step to prevent colors and coatings from blending.
• If you don’t have candy sticks, wooden skewers or lollipop sticks can be used instead.
• Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during drying and make cleanup easier.
• Dark chocolate chips can be substituted with semi-sweet or milk chocolate if preferred.
• Store finished Tigger Tails in an airtight container at room temperature and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
