Ingredients
Scale
Marshmallows
- 20 large marshmallows, store bought or homemade
Chocolate Coating
- 1 10-ounce bag chocolate candy melts (milk, white, or dark chocolate)
Extras
- Lollipop sticks
- Sprinkles or other decorative toppings of choice
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: Place chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on 50% power for 1 minute, then stir well. Continue heating on 50% power at 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted but not overheated to avoid it becoming unworkable.
- Prepare marshmallow pops: Insert lollipop sticks into the center of one flat side of each marshmallow. Ensure they sit firmly without piercing through the other side.
- Set up toppings and workstation: Pour sprinkles or decorative toppings into small bowls. Line a sheet pan with waxed paper or prepare a block of styrofoam or florist’s foam to stand the pops upright for setting.
- Dip and decorate marshmallows: Dip the marshmallow tops into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip back into the bowl. After about 10 seconds, sprinkle the desired toppings onto the chocolate-coated marshmallows using hands or a spoon.
- Allow chocolate to set: Stick the marshmallow pops upright into styrofoam blocks or place on the lined sheet pan stick side up. Let them sit for approximately 30 minutes until the chocolate has fully set.
