Ingredients
Scale
Marshmallow Pops
- 24 Regular Sized Marshmallows
- 8 Lollipop Sticks
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup Ghirardelli Chocolate Melting Wafers or Chocolate Chips
Decorative Candy Melts
- 20 Red Candy Melts
- 20 Bright White Candy Melts
- 20 Green Candy Melts
Instructions
- Prepare Marshmallow Skewers: For each marshmallow pop, select 3 marshmallows of approximately the same size and skewer them onto a lollipop stick carefully to form a stack.
- Melt Chocolate Coating: Place 20-25 chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, then continue microwaving in 10-second increments, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is almost fully melted and smooth.
- Dip Marshmallows: Using a spoon, coat the skewered marshmallows with the melted chocolate, ensuring even coverage. Smooth out the chocolate over the marshmallows for a neat finish.
- Cool and Harden: Set the dipped marshmallow pops aside to cool completely, allowing the chocolate coating to harden fully.
- Melt Candy Melts: Separately melt 15-20 red, bright white, and green candy melts by placing each color in individual Ziploc bags and microwaving until melted. Carefully cut the tips of the bags to prepare for drizzling.
- Decorate Pops: Alternately drizzle the melted red, white, and green candy melts over the chocolate-coated marshmallow pops to create festive stripes and patterns.
- Final Set: Allow the decorative drizzle to harden completely before storing the marshmallow pops in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- The chocolate melting process is best done in short bursts with stirring to prevent burning.
- You can substitute Ghirardelli wafers with any high-quality chocolate melting wafers or chips.
- Be sure to let the chocolate and candy melts harden fully to avoid smudging during storage.
- Store marshmallow pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to place the dipped pops during cooling for easy removal.
