Instructions

1. First, skewer 4 marshmallows on each stick.

5. Stir to smooth.
6. Heat additional 30 seconds if caramel is still lumpy or stringy.
7. Hold each stick over the bowl and spoon hot caramel all over your stick.
8. When it's completely covered lightly tap against the side of the bowl to get the excess caramel off.
9. Place finished stick onto parchment paper or a silpat on a cookie sheet.
10. Before dipping the next tail, reheat the caramel for 20 seconds in the microwave.
11. When all the tails are dipped, put cookie sheet in the freezer 10 minutes to set.
12. In the meantime, place white chocolate chips in an equally large bowl.
13. Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil and microwave in 30 second intervals at 50% power, stirring after each interval.
14. Do not overheat.
15. When smooth, add a few drops orange oil, and orange coloring.
16. One at a time, hold each caramel covered stick over the chocolate bowl, spoon chocolate on top, and tap off just like with the caramel.
17. If chocolate starts to thicken, microwave 30 seconds at 50% power to thin it out.
18. Place each chocolate dipped tail back on parchment/silpat lined tray.
19. When all the tails have been dipped, freeze 10 minutes or until firm.
20. Melt semisweet chocolate and drizzle in zig-zag motion over each tail.
