These treats feature marshmallows dipped in smooth melted chocolate and can be customized with optional fillings like peanut butter, caramel sauce, or Nutella, and topped with chopped hazelnuts or colorful sprinkles.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Milk Chocolate Chips or Chocolate Melting Wafers
  • 1 teaspoon Oil
  • 36 Regular Sized Marshmallows

Optional Fillings

  • Peanut Butter
  • Caramel Sauce
  • Nutella

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped Hazelnuts
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips or melting wafers and 1 teaspoon of oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This creates a glossy coating perfect for dipping.
  2. Optional Filling Prep: If you choose to add fillings, prepare small dollops of peanut butter, caramel sauce, or Nutella. You can insert a small amount inside each marshmallow by carefully making a shallow incision or sandwiching two marshmallows with filling in the middle.
  3. Skewer the Marshmallows: Insert sticks or lollipop rods into each marshmallow firmly but gently to avoid breaking. If using fillings, be sure to secure them before skewering.
  4. Dip the Marshmallow Pops: Holding the stick, dip each marshmallow fully into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage. Let the excess chocolate drip off back into the bowl for a clean coating.
  5. Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts, sprinkles, or your choice of toppings over the dipped marshmallow to add texture and flair.
  6. Set the Pops: Place the dipped and decorated marshmallow pops onto a parchment-lined tray. Allow them to cool and chocolate to harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator for faster setting, about 20-30 minutes.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is fully set, your marshmallow pops are ready to serve as a sweet treat for parties, gifts, or thematic snacks reminiscent of the fairground favorites.

Notes

  • Marshmallow pops are inspired by popular theme park treats known for their rich chocolate coating and fun presentation.
  • Adding fillings like peanut butter, caramel, or Nutella creates an extra layer of flavor and surprise inside each pop.
  • Choose chocolate melting wafers for smoother, easier melting, but good quality chocolate chips work well too.
  • Toppings can be personalized to preference for color, texture, and additional taste.
  • Storage: Keep marshmallow pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
