Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Marshmallow Pops
- 12 large marshmallows
- 12 lollipop sticks
- Assorted sprinkles and edible glitter
- Wax paper (for lining)
Instructions
- Prepare the work surface: Line a baking sheet with wax paper and set it aside to prevent sticking and help chocolate-coated pops set evenly.
- Insert sticks: Carefully insert a lollipop stick into each large marshmallow, ensuring it is secure but not pushing through the other side. Set aside the prepared marshmallows.
- Melt chocolates: In two separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals. Stir thoroughly between each interval until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
- Coat marshmallows with milk chocolate: Dip half of the marshmallows into the melted milk chocolate, gently tapping each to remove any excess chocolate. Place them on the prepared baking sheet to set.
- Coat marshmallows with white chocolate: Repeat the dipping process with the remaining marshmallows using the melted white chocolate, and place them on the baking sheet as well.
- Decorate: While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle assorted sprinkles and edible glitter on each marshmallow pop for a festive and magical appearance.
- Chill to set: Place the decorated marshmallow pops in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate coating is fully hardened and set.
- Serve and enjoy: Once the chocolate is hardened, remove the pops from the refrigerator and serve immediately for a delightful treat.
Notes
- Use good-quality chocolate chips for a smoother and richer coating.
- If chocolate thickens during melting, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to help thin it out.
- Be gentle when inserting sticks to avoid breaking the marshmallows.
- You can customize decorations with themed sprinkles for holidays or events.
- Store leftover pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
