Here’s a fun and easy recipe for Marshmallow Pops—perfect for parties, holidays, or a sweet snack!
Marshmallow Pops
Ingredients:
-
Large marshmallows
-
Lollipop sticks or skewers
-
Chocolate (milk, dark, or white) for dipping
-
Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut for decoration
-
Optional: colored candy melts for coating
Instructions:
-
Prepare sticks: Insert a lollipop stick or skewer into each marshmallow.
-
Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate or candy melts in 20–30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
-
Dip marshmallows: Hold the marshmallow by the stick and dip it into the melted chocolate, coating evenly. Tap off excess.
-
Decorate: Immediately sprinkle with decorations—sprinkles, crushed nuts, or coconut—before the chocolate sets.
-
Set: Place the marshmallow pops upright in a glass or on parchment paper to harden. You can also refrigerate for 5–10 minutes to speed up setting.
-
Serve & enjoy: Once chocolate is firm, they’re ready to eat!
Tips & Variations:
-
Drizzle effect: After coating in chocolate, drizzle a contrasting chocolate color over the marshmallow for a decorative look.
-
Festive pops: Use seasonal sprinkles for holidays (red & green for Christmas, orange & black for Halloween).
-
Flavor twist: Add a drop of peppermint or almond extract to melted chocolate.
-
Rice Krispies marshmallow pops: Roll dipped marshmallows in crushed Rice Krispies for a crunchy coating.
💡 Pro tip: Stand marshmallow pops in a cup of rice or use a styrofoam block to keep them upright while decorating.
If you want, I can give a fancy, party-ready version with layers of chocolate, caramel drizzle, and crushed toppings that look like professional candy shop pops.
