Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Pops
I designed these chocolate covered marshmallow pops as a no-bake treat for Valentine's Day. But you could easily customize them for another holiday, such as Christmas, or even to serve at a child's birthday. Who wouldn't love to give out these adorable pops as a party favor or even just serve them as dessert. The longest part of this recipe is waiting patiently for everything to set. Otherwise, this is a quicky treat you can put together at the last minute.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 36 marshmallows, large
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips milk chocolate are ok, too
- 1/2 cup white candy melts
- 1/2 cup red candy melts
- 1/4 cup red heart sprinkles
Instructions
- For each lollipop stick or straw, push 3 marshmallows onto it. If possible, leave a bit of space between each marshmallow. This will make it easier for dipping and decorating.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-second increments, stirring in between until smooth. Avoid overheating.
- Hold each stick and dip all three marshmallows into the melted chocolate. Make sure you gently tap the stick on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- Place the chocolate-dipped marshmallow pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt the white and red candy melts separately in microwave-safe bowls. Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the red candy melts over the chocolate-covered marshmallows.
- Repeat with the white candy melts.
- Before the drizzled candy melts have hardened, add heart sprinkles.
- Leave the pops on the parchment paper until the chocolate and candy melts are completely set. Once hardened, they’re ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
Marshmallows aren't typically kosher because they contain gelatin. So if you want to make these chocolate covered pops to be kosher, halal or even vegan, you'll want to look for marshmallows that say that on the bag. I found a few kosher/halal marshmallow options on Amazon.
This recipe shares many of the same ingredients as my white chocolate covered Oreo cookie recipe. That includes candy melts and heart-shaped sprinkles. You might want to plan to make both on the same day so you can use up all of the ingredients at once.
Speaking of heart sprinkles, I used the all red kind. However, you could easily buy a mix of pink, white and red heart candy sprinkles and use them as well.
Finally, when purchasing lollipop sticks, go with the ones that are six-inches long. This will ensure you have enough room for the three marshmallows and a spot to hold the stick, too.
