Chocolate Covered Marshmallows with a layer of caramel, just like my favorites from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. An easy, delicious no-bake treat!
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. Secure two marshmallows to each cake pop stick or straw.
Melt caramel according to package instructions. Dip marshmallows in the caramel and swirl or use a spoon to help coat them on all sides. Allow excess caramel to drip off, and place on prepared pan. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Add chocolate chips or wafers to a microwave safe bowl on 50% power for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 15 seconds, until smooth and melted. Dip caramel coated marshmallows in the chocolate. Use a spoon to help smooth chocolate all around. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, and return to parchment lined pan.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store leftovers in the fridge.

Notes
Recipe Variations:
Like a s'more: sandwiched the chocolate covered marshmallows between honey graham crackers. It's like a no-cook s'more and it's delicious!
No caramel: simply skip the caramel steps and dip the mallows in chocolate.
Add toppings: once you've dipped them in chocolate, allow the chocolate to set up for a few seconds and then gently press toppings onto the chocolate, like chopped nuts, shredded coconut, sprinkles, etc.
Make Ahead Instructions: Make them several days in advance and store them in a covered container at room temperature or in the refrigerator, depending on your climate.Freezing Instructions: allow to cool and set up completely and place them in a freezer safe bag for 2-3 months. Thaw on counter before eating.
