Ingredients
Marshmallow Pops
- 12 large marshmallows
- 12 lollipop sticks or paper straws
- 1½ cups white chocolate chips or candy melts
- ½ cup pink or red candy melts (optional)
- 1 tsp coconut oil or shortening (optional)
- Valentine’s sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to place the marshmallow pops on once dipped for easy cleanup and to allow chocolate to set.
- Insert sticks: Carefully insert one lollipop stick or paper straw into the center of each marshmallow, ensuring they are secure but not pushed through.
- Melt white chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate chips or candy melts in 20–30 second intervals, stirring well between each, until completely smooth and melted. Stir in coconut oil or shortening if using, to thin the coating.
- Dip marshmallows: Fully submerge each marshmallow into the melted white chocolate, gently tapping off any excess chocolate to avoid drips.
- Decorate: Immediately sprinkle Valentine’s sprinkles over the wet chocolate coating so they adhere well.
- Add colored drizzle (optional): Melt the pink or red candy melts similarly and drizzle over the coated pops for extra color and festive appearance.
- Set the pops: Stand the marshmallow pops upright in a foam block or lay them flat on the parchment paper. Allow the chocolate to harden completely at room temperature, about 20–30 minutes.
Notes
- Candy melts create a smooth, glossy coating and come in vibrant colors perfect for Valentine’s decorations.
- Store finished marshmallow pops at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and texture.
- For gifting, wrap each pop individually in treat bags or cellophane tied with ribbons.
- These pops are kid-friendly and ideal for Valentine’s Day classroom parties and gatherings.
