Ingredients
Scale
Marshmallow Pops
- 20 large marshmallows, store bought or homemade
- 1 10-ounce bag chocolate candy melts (milk, white, or dark chocolate)
- Lollipop sticks
- Sprinkles or other decorative toppings of choice
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Place chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave at 50% power for 1 minute, then stir well. Continue heating in 30-second increments at 50% power, stirring between each until fully melted. Be careful not to overheat to keep the chocolate smooth and workable.
- Prepare Marshmallows with Sticks: Insert a lollipop stick firmly into the flat side of each marshmallow, ensuring it goes deep enough to stay secure but not through the other side.
- Set Up Toppings and Workspace: Pour sprinkles and decorative toppings into small bowls. Line a sheet pan with waxed paper or prepare a styrofoam or florist’s foam block to stand the marshmallow pops while the chocolate sets.
- Dip and Decorate: Dip the marshmallow tops into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. After about 10 seconds, sprinkle your chosen toppings over the chocolate-coated marshmallows using your hands or a spoon for an even layer.
- Let the Chocolate Set: Stick the marshmallow pops upright into the prepared styrofoam blocks or place them on the lined sheet pan with the stick side down. Allow the chocolate to harden, which takes about 30 minutes, before serving or packaging.
Notes
- A fun and engaging kitchen activity suitable for all ages, perfect for celebrations or sweet treats.
- You can customize these marshmallow pops with various types of chocolate and an array of colorful sprinkles or toppings to match any occasion.
- If styrofoam blocks are unavailable, use a wax paper-lined tray and lay the pops stick side down to set.
- Be cautious while melting chocolate; overheating can cause it to seize and become unworkable.
