What you will need:
- large marshmallows
- lollipop sticks
- candy melts (various colours of your choosing)
- sprinkles or other edible garnishes
Step 1:
gather all your ingredients
Step 2:
melt your candy melts (My preferred method is using a double boiler; you can use the microwave but be very watchful as it doesn't take long to scald)
Step 3:
insert sticks into bottom of marshmallows
Step 4:
carefully dip the marshmallows into the melted candy melts, 1 at a time; gently tap the marshmallow on the side of dish to get rid of the excess
Step 5:
roll the coated portion of the marshmallows around in the garnishes (I found edible glitter worked well and also the tiny round sprinkles)Step 6:
allow to set for a little while - using a Styrofoam block or a cake pop stand would work well (I placed ours on a sheet of parchment paper)
enjoy!
**Mr. J and Mr. K really enjoyed them, I found them to be WAY too sweet...but they are definitely cute and would be adorable added to a valentine's card!

DeleteThese are just like the marshmallow pops I made for Zackary's Super Mario Bros. party except I stuck quartered mini marshmallows into the candy coating to turn them into mushrooms. Lol I think I have some red wafers left; I'll have to make these for the boys this Valentine's Day!
