How to Make Marshmallow Pops

Ingredients

• 36 large marshmallows
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup white candy melts
• 1/2 cup red candy melts
• 1/4 cup red heart sprinkles
• 12 lollipop sticks or decorative straws
• Parchment paper

Cook and Prep Times

• Servings: Makes 12 pops (each pop with 3 marshmallows)
• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 5 minutes (for melting chocolate and candy melts)
• Cool Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 40 minutes

Directions

1. Assemble the Marshmallows

For each lollipop stick or straw, push 3 marshmallows onto it, leaving a bit of space between each marshmallow for easier dipping and decorating.

2. Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-second increments, stirring in between until smooth. Avoid overheating.

3. Dip the Marshmallow Pops

Hold each stick and dip all three marshmallows into the melted chocolate, gently tapping the stick on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.

4. Set the Chocolate Coating

Place the chocolate-dipped marshmallow pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 

5. Drizzle with White and Red Candy Melts

Melt the red and white candy melts separately in microwave-safe bowls. Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the red candy melts over the chocolate-covered marshmallows.

Repeat with the white candy melts.

Now add heart sprinkles.

6. Let Harden and Serve

Leave the pops on the parchment paper until the chocolate and candy melts are completely set. Once hardened, they’re ready to serve and enjoy!
