Ingredients
Scale
Marshmallow Pops
- 24 Regular sized marshmallows
- 8 Lollipop sticks
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup Ghirardelli chocolate melting wafers or chocolate chips
Candy Drizzle
- 20 Red candy melts (Wilton)
- 20 Bright white candy melts (Wilton)
- 20 Green candy melts (Wilton)
Instructions
- Assemble Marshmallow Pops: Select 3 marshmallows of roughly equal size and carefully skewer them onto a lollipop stick to create each pop.
- Melt Chocolate: Place 20-25 chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave them for 30 seconds, stir, then continue microwaving in 10-second intervals with stirring until the chocolate is nearly fully melted and smooth.
- Coat Marshmallows: Using a spoon, carefully cover each marshmallow pop with the melted chocolate, smoothing the surface so the chocolate evenly coats the marshmallows.
- Cool and Harden: Allow the coated marshmallow pops to sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Melt Candy Melts: Place 15-20 red, bright white, and green candy melts into separate Ziploc bags. Microwave each bag until the candy melts fully softens, then cut the tip of the bag to prepare for drizzling.
- Decorate Pops: Alternate drizzling the melted candy melts over the hardened chocolate-covered marshmallow pops to create colorful, festive designs.
- Final Setting: Allow the candy drizzle to harden thoroughly before storing the marshmallow pops in an airtight container for freshness.
Notes
- Ensure marshmallows are similar in size for even skewering and appearance.
- Stir the chocolate frequently during melting to prevent burning or clumping.
- Use microwave-safe bowls and bags to safely melt chocolates and candy melts.
- Allow adequate cooling time for both chocolate coating and candy drizzle to set properly.
- Store the finished marshmallow pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
