Begin by lining a baking tray with greaseproof or baking paper.

Take a microwave-safe bowl and break dark chocolate into chunks. Microwave it in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Grab a marshmallow and dip one end into the melted chocolate, leaving the other end as the 'tummy'.

Carefully stand the dipped marshmallow on the prepared tray.

Once all the marshmallows are dipped, place the tray into the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to chill.

While the penguins chill, cut your yellow and orange Smarties in half for beaks.

Once the chocolate has set, use the remaining melted chocolate to attach two candy eyes and a halved Smartie for each penguin's beak.

Return the marshmallow penguins to the fridge for another 10 minutes to ensure all components adhere well together.

Once fully set, your marshmallow penguins are ready to be kept or served.
