Ingredients
Scale
Marshmallows
- 24 Regular-Sized Marshmallows
- 8 Lollipop Sticks
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup Ghirardelli Chocolate Melting Wafers or Chocolate Chips
Candy Melts Drizzle
- 20 Red Candy Melts
- 20 Bright White Candy Melts
- 20 Green Candy Melts
Instructions
- Prepare the Marshmallow Pops: Select 3 marshmallows of approximately the same size and carefully skewer them onto a lollipop stick to form one pop.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place 20-25 chocolate wafers or chips into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and continue microwaving in 10-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is almost completely melted and smooth.
- Coat the Marshmallows: Using a spoon, cover the stacked marshmallows with the melted chocolate, smoothing it out evenly over each pop to create a chocolate shell.
- Allow Chocolate to Set: Let the chocolate-coated marshmallow pops cool at room temperature until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Melt Candy Melts: Separate the red, bright white, and green candy melts into individual Ziploc bags and microwave each bag until fully melted. Cut a small tip off each bag for drizzling.
- Decorate with Drizzle: Alternate the colors and drizzle the melted candy melts over the chocolate-coated marshmallow pops to add colorful festive decorations.
- Final Setting: Allow the candy melt drizzle to harden completely before storing.
- Storage: Store the finished Christmas Marshmallow Pops in an air-tight container to maintain freshness until serving.
Notes
- Use a gentle hand when skewering marshmallows to avoid tearing or squashing.
- If chocolate begins to harden while working, gently reheat in short bursts to restore smoothness.
- For even coating, tap off excess chocolate before setting to avoid drips.
- Store pops at room temperature in a cool, dry place to prevent melting or stickiness.
- Customize drizzle colors or add sprinkles for other holiday themes.
