Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Large Marshmallows (classic white or festive colors) – about 20 pieces
  • Lollipop Sticks – 20 sticks

Coating

  • Chocolate Chips or Melting Wafers (milk, dark, or white chocolate) – 1 to 1.5 cups

Toppings

  • Festive Sprinkles (red, green, white, or multicolored) – 1/2 cup
  • Optional Decorations: crushed candy canes, edible glitter, colored sugar – as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to place your dipped marshmallows on. Have all your ingredients ready and melted chocolate warm but not too hot for dipping.
  2. Insert the Sticks: Gently push a lollipop stick into the side of each marshmallow, about halfway through, making sure it’s secure but not squishing the marshmallow.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Use a microwave or double boiler to melt your chosen chocolate until smooth, stirring often to avoid burning. The chocolate needs to be fluid enough to coat but thick enough to stick.
  4. Dip the Marshmallows: Holding the stick, dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, covering it fully or just partially depending on your design preference. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
  5. Add Festive Toppings: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your chosen toppings over the marshmallow for a colorful, festive finish that sticks perfectly.
  6. Let Them Set: Place each dipped marshmallow pop on the parchment-lined tray and let them sit at room temperature or in the fridge to harden.

Notes

  • Use good quality chocolate for a smooth melt and shiny finish.
  • Do not overheat chocolate; melt in short bursts and stir frequently.
  • Keep marshmallows at room temperature to avoid cracking while dipping.
  • Add toppings immediately after dipping while chocolate is still wet for best adhesion.
  • Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking during setting.
