| Yield: | 12 marshmallow pops |
Ingredients
- 1 pound chocolate-almond bark or white chocolate-almond bark (or both)
- Blue candy melting wafers, for coating
- Orange candy melting wafers, for coating
- 12 regular marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 4 graham crackers, crumbled
- Crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos, for topping
- Assorted sprinkles, such as blue, chocolate and rainbow, for topping
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate- or white chocolate-almond bark (or both) in a double boiler (melt separately if using both). Next, melt the blue and orange candy melting wafers separately in double boilers. Stir them all until they are nice and smooth. These will be your marshmallow coatings.
- One by one, dip the very tip of each lollipop stick into one of the coatings. Then stick that end of the stick into a marshmallow until it’s not quite all the way through. Repeat with the rest of the marshmallows, standing them up as you go.
- Next, roll each marshmallow in the coating of your choice, and then tap the stick gently on the side of the double boiler to get rid of the excess. Using your fingers, sprinkle the topping of your choice all over the coating. For a rocky road version, dip in the chocolate and roll in the chopped pecans. For a s’mores version, dip in the chocolate and roll in the graham cracker crumbs. For a cookies and cream version, dip in the white chocolate and roll in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies.
- Set the pops, stick-side up, on a piece of waxed paper, or stick them into florist foam (used to make flowers stand up).
Reviews
I needed something really fast and easy. Plus I had all these ingredients. I made them for my niece who has become quadriplegic so anything I can do to put a smile on her face I do it. Thank you so much Ree. I truly appreciate you! ❤️
Good idea for kids to do
When I did this during Christmas they were delicious.
Creative & Delicious!!!
Made bouquets of pops for all my valentines. All were impressed, especially the grandkids.
This is a recipe for children. Their little eyes almost pop out of their head when they see them! They are also fun to make. Do the stick trick that Ree says before hand and then let their imagination be their guide. Thanks Ree! This one’s a keeper:)
I gave this only 4 stars because I believe that working with takes practice. I have personally seized chocolate in the past. 🙂 My recommendation is that if you’ve never or hardly work with chocolate, take a practice run and take your time doing this. You need to let the chocolate set on the marshmallow a bit before rolling it. Also remember that chocolate is heavy and marshmallows are not. Mine looked like Frankenstein rolled them the first time around. Don’t do it for a party if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Real cooks do these with homemade marshmallows. Not worth the time to do this with storebought.
An excellent alternative that is quicker and easier than cake pops.
Like others, I have had lots of trouble getting the candy melts or almond bark to be the right texture for dipping. Marshmallows are much more forgiving. The taste isn’t as good as cake pops and you cant shape them much, but the speed and convenience cant be beat!
I made cake pops for a party last night but just whipped these up for my daughters Halloween party. Little kids will love them!
