How to Make Valentine’s Marshmallow Pops
1. Assemble the Marshmallows
- Push 3 large marshmallows onto each lollipop stick or decorative straw.
- Leave a little space between each marshmallow for easy dipping and decorating.
2. Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each round.
- Stop once smooth—overheating can ruin the texture.
3. Dip the Marshmallows
- Hold the stick and dip the marshmallows into the melted chocolate, ensuring they’re fully coated.
- Gently tap the stick on the edge of the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off.
- Place the dipped marshmallow pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Drizzle and Decorate
- Melt the white and red candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls, stirring until smooth.
- Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the candy melts over the chocolate-covered marshmallows.
- While the candy melts are still wet, sprinkle with red heart sprinkles for a festive touch.
5. Set and Serve
- Let the marshmallow pops sit on the parchment paper until the chocolate and candy melts are completely hardened.
- Once set, they’re ready to enjoy!
Pro Tips for Perfect Marshmallow Pops
- Use Quality Chocolate: High-quality chocolate chips or melting wafers will ensure a smooth coating.
- Keep It Clean: Dip marshmallows at room temperature—chilled marshmallows can cause the chocolate to seize.
- Decorate Quickly: Add sprinkles while the candy melts are still wet to ensure they stick.
- Gift Idea: Wrap each marshmallow pop individually in clear cellophane and tie with a red or pink ribbon for a professional touch.
