Dipped Marshmallow Pops

These adorable marshmallow pops are a delightful treat, especially if you're aiming to keep your ingredient list short. There's something inherently charming about treats on sticks; they're less messy and somehow more enticing. With just three or four main ingredients, you can whip up a bunch of these marshmallow pops in around 30 minutes!

While these are simple to make, the trickiest part is melting and drizzling the chocolate. In this tutorial, I use my favorite method, which involves using my trusty mini fondue pot as a makeshift double boiler. This involves heating water in the pot and melting the chocolates in a silicone cup placed within it. This keeps the chocolate melted for as long as I need without the hassle of repeatedly microwaving it. However, microwaving in short intervals (10-15 seconds) is another viable method—just be careful not to burn it. Alternatively, you can create a double boiler setup on the stove.

To achieve perfect chocolate drizzles, transfer some melted chocolate into piping bags and snip a small hole. This allows for precise striping over the marshmallows. If you don't have piping bags, you can achieve a similar effect by using a spoon to create back-and-forth motions over the pops.

For a festive touch, tint the marshmallow pops green for St. Patrick's Day or use different food coloring to match any occasion. They're incredibly versatile and easy to customize! Sprinkles are a fantastic addition. I show you how to make your own "sprinkles" using colored sugar to decorate if you don't already have traditional premade sprinkles. Just remember to sprinkle them on before the chocolate sets and have a bowl handy to catch any runaways.

Melt your chocolate.

While waiting for your chocolate to melt, mix the colored sugar by using one or two drops of gel food coloring in the white sugar.

Prepare your marshmallows using bamboo skewers or lollipop sticks.

Use the white chocolate or candy melts to cover the marshmallow pops.

While the chocolate is still warm, roll it into the green sugar to add color.

Fill a piping bag with white chocolate and drizzle on top.

Color the white chocolate with green gel food coloring and fill a piping bag to drizzle it on top.

Dip the marshmallow into the green-colored chocolate and then drizzle with white chocolate for a fun contrast of colors.

You can lay the marshmallow pops on top of the extra colored sugar while the chocolate cools and hardens.
