Ingredients
Marshmallow Pops
- 48 large marshmallows
- 24 lollipop sticks
Chocolate Coating
- 2 cups chocolate melting wafers
Optional Decorations
- Rainbow sprinkles
- Candy-coated chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Marshmallows: Push between one and three large marshmallows onto each lollipop stick and set them aside to be coated later.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Coat Marshmallows: Dip each marshmallow pop into the melted chocolate, turning the stick a few times to ensure full coverage of the chocolate on all sides.
- Remove Excess Chocolate: Lift the chocolate-coated marshmallow stick out of the bowl and gently tap the stick against the side of the bowl a couple of times to let excess chocolate drip off. Place the coated marshmallow on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add Decorations: While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle with your choice of rainbow sprinkles or candy-coated chocolate chips. If you plan to drizzle another type of chocolate over the marshmallows, wait until the first layer has set before doing so.
- Repeat: Continue coating and decorating the remaining marshmallow pops until all are done.
- Set and Store: Allow the chocolate coating to completely set at room temperature before transferring to containers for storage or serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate melting wafers for the best smooth coating.
- Ensure chocolate is not overheated to avoid burning or seizing.
- You can mix different types of chocolate (dark, milk, white) for variety.
- Keep the marshmallow pops at room temperature until serving; avoid refrigeration to prevent chocolate bloom or condensation.
- Customize decorations with nuts or crushed cookies for different textures.
