Soft marshmallows are dipped in rich melted chocolate, then decorated with colorful white and red candy melts and heart sprinkles. Easy to make and visually charming, these pops are perfect for gifting or serving at Valentine’s Day parties.

Ingredients

Marshmallow Pops

  • 36 large marshmallows
  • 12 lollipop sticks or decorative straws
  • Parchment paper (for lining)

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Decorations

  • 1/2 cup white candy melts
  • 1/2 cup red candy melts
  • 1/4 cup red heart sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Assemble the Marshmallows: Push 3 marshmallows onto each lollipop stick or decorative straw, leaving space between each marshmallow to ensure they can be dipped and decorated easily without clumping.
  2. Melt the Chocolate Chips: Place the semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second increments, stirring between each heating cycle until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Take care to avoid overheating to prevent burning.
  3. Dip the Marshmallow Pops: Hold each stick firmly and dip all three marshmallows into the melted chocolate. Gently tap the stick on the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate for an even coating.
  4. Set the Base Layer: Lay the chocolate-coated marshmallow pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and allows the chocolate to set properly.
  5. Melt Candy Melts and Decorate: Melt the white and red candy melts separately in microwave-safe bowls until smooth. Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the white candy melts decoratively over the chocolate-covered marshmallows, then repeat with the red candy melts. Immediately sprinkle the red heart sprinkles on top to adhere before the candy melts harden.
  6. Allow to Harden: Leave the decorated pops on the parchment-lined sheet at room temperature until the chocolate and candy melts are completely set and firm to the touch. Once hardened, the pops are ready to serve or package for gifting.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking while the chocolate sets.
  • Do not overheat the chocolate or candy melts to avoid burning or seizing.
  • Space marshmallows properly on sticks for easier dipping and decorating.
  • Store finished pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • These treats are best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
