Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 6 candy canes unwrapped
- 18 large marshmallows
Chocolate Coatings
- 1 cup melting chocolate
- 1 cup white melting chocolate
- ¼ cup green melts
- ¼ cup red melts
Decorations
- 2 tablespoons crushed candy canes
- 2 tablespoons holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Assemble Marshmallows: Thread 3 large marshmallows onto each candy cane carefully. If leaving candy canes wrapped, wash gently to avoid breaking.
- Melt Chocolates: Place each type of chocolate and candy melts in microwave-safe bowls and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Follow package instructions if they differ.
- Coat Marshmallows: Using a spoon, quickly dip or drip melted brown chocolate over half the marshmallow pops and white chocolate over the other half, covering the marshmallows fully but leaving the candy cane loop free.
- Decorate Pops: While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle crushed candy canes and holiday sprinkles over the pops. Use melted green and red candy melts to drizzle designs over some pops with a piping bag or spoon.
- Set and Serve: Place the pops on parchment paper and let the chocolate harden for about 5 minutes before serving or storing.
Notes
- Store marshmallow pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days. Refrigerate if your environment is warm.
- Freezing the marshmallow pops is not recommended as it may affect texture.
- Crush candy canes easily using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
- Allow candy coating to fully harden before storing to prevent sticking.
