These easy-to-make pops are reminiscent of my good friend Bakerella’s famous Cake Pops, and take almost no time to make. They’re a perfect treat to make with little kiddos, and the permutations and combinations for the coating and toppings are endless.
Marshmallow pops are everywhere, and you can have some serious fun with them. Use white or milk chocolate to coat them (I used white) or get ultra creative and use different colors (green, pink, blue) of meltable candy wafers. You can dunk them all the way to coat them completely as I did here, or you can just dip them halfway to give them a more “drippy” appearance. My friend Alice did a Rocky Road version, where she demonstrates both:
If you have a little Christmas party that needs a quick treat, or if you’re looking for a fun diversion for the kids in the days leading up to Christmas, these are your man.
These are your man? That made no sense.
Here’s how to make the pops:
The powderyer the better.
You didn’t know powderyer was a word?
Then start dipping the marshmallows one by one. I actually rolled the marshmallow on the surface of the melted almond bark rather than dunked it. Worked just fine.
You can also do chocolate instead of (or in addition to) white chocolate. Or colors.
And you can use any toppings you can possibly think of:
Crushed pretzels
Chopped nuts
Crushed candy
Crushed cookies
Sprinkles

Anything!

Yay for marshmallow pops! They may very well be the easiest Christmas treat there is. Have fun with them.

Recipe
Marshmallow Pops
- Prep Time:
- Cook Time:
- Difficulty:
- Easy
- Servings:
- 12
Ingredients
- Regular Marshmallows
- 1 package Almond Bark (white Or Chocolate) Or Meltable Candy Wafers
- Sprinkles, Chopped Nuts, Chopped Pretzels, Chopped Candy, Etc.
- Equipment: Lolipop Sticks (sold In Craft Stores)
Preparation Instructions
Melt the chocolate or white (or both) almond bark in a double boiler.
One by one, dip the very tip of the lollipop stick into the melted chocolate, then stick that end of the stick into the 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 the marshmallow in the chocolate to coat it, 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 chocolate. Set them stick side up on a piece of waxed paper OR stick them into that crazy florist stuff that makes flowers stand up.
Have fun with the toppings and make no two marshmallow pops the same!
