Ingredients

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

  1. Prepare Candy Cane Sticks: Unwrap the candy canes and use them as sticks for your marshmallow pops by gently straightening and placing them on a clean surface.
  2. Insert Marshmallows: Skewer three large marshmallows onto each candy cane, spacing them evenly to create a pop shape.
  3. Melt Chocolate Coatings: In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the melting chocolate and white melting chocolate according to package instructions. Also melt the green and red melts individually for decorating.
  4. Coat Marshmallows: Dip each marshmallow pop into the melted chocolate or white chocolate coatings until fully covered. Tap off excess chocolate gently.
  5. Decorate Pops: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle crushed candy canes and holiday sprinkles onto the coated marshmallows. Use the melted green and red melts to add decorative details by drizzling or spot application.
  6. Set Pops: Place the finished marshmallow pops on parchment paper and allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, your festive Christmas Marshmallow Pops are ready to be served or packaged as gifting treats.
