Scale
Marshmallow Pops
- 6 candy canes, unwrapped
- 18 large marshmallows
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup melting chocolate
- 1 cup white melting chocolate
- ¼ cup green melts
- ¼ cup red melts
Decorations
- 2 tablespoons crushed candy canes
- 2 tablespoons holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare Candy Cane Sticks: Carefully unwrap the candy canes and arrange them so that the straight end can be used as a handle. Set aside.
- Skewer Marshmallows: Thread 3 large marshmallows onto each candy cane by sliding them onto the straight part, creating marshmallow pops.
- Melt Chocolates: In separate bowls, melt the melting chocolate and the white melting chocolate according to package instructions until smooth.
- Dip Marshmallow Pops: Dip half of the marshmallow pops into the melted chocolate and the other half into the white melting chocolate, ensuring the marshmallows are evenly coated.
- Decorate with Colored Melts: Melt the green and red melts and drizzle or carefully pipe them over the coated marshmallows for a festive touch.
- Add Sprinkles and Crushed Candy Canes: While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle the holiday sprinkles and crushed candy canes over the pops to decorate.
- Allow to Set: Place the marshmallow pops on wax paper or a non-stick surface and allow the chocolate coating to harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, the pops are ready to serve as a festive holiday treat or package for gifting.
Notes
- Use candy canes with straight ends to make handling easier.
- Ensure chocolate melts are smooth and not overheated to avoid seizing.
- Customize decorations with your favorite holiday-themed sprinkles or edible glitter.
- Store marshmallow pops in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
- If desired, substitute marshmallows with vegan marshmallows for a vegan version.
