Stir to coat. Cool slightly and the toss with powdered sugar to coat. Add in sprinkles and candy pearls. Spread out on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or a baking mat to set up.

Mix everything together in a big bowl. Add in pretzels, other marshmallows, M&M's and more sprinkles/sugar if desired.

Notes

To make the Jumbo Marshmallows: Same steps as the mini ones, you will just need to use more chocolate and the Jumbo sized marshmallows. Lollipop sticks or decorative straws work great.
