Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 pops
Ingredients
- 12 large marshmallows
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup candy corn
- 12 lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients and equipment. You will need 12 large marshmallows, 1 cup of white chocolate chips, 1 cup of candy corn, and 12 lollipop sticks. Make sure you have a microwave-safe bowl and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Insert a lollipop stick into the bottom of each marshmallow, pushing it about halfway through to ensure it is secure. Place the marshmallows on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips. Microwave the chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes total, depending on your microwave.
- Once the white chocolate is melted, carefully dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the marshmallow back on the baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still wet, immediately sprinkle candy corn over the top of the marshmallow. You can either press the candy corn gently into the chocolate or simply scatter it on top for a more casual look.
- Once all the marshmallows are coated and decorated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
- After the chocolate has hardened, your Candy Corn Marshmallow Pops are ready to be served. You can arrange them on a platter or package them as fun treats for parties or Halloween celebrations.
- Enjoy your delicious Candy Corn Marshmallow Pops!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your white chocolate is melted smoothly by using low, consistent heat and stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Decorating Technique: For a professional look, dip your marshmallows at a slight angle and tap off excess chocolate gently.
- Candy Corn Placement: For the most attractive pops, arrange candy corn pieces carefully or create a pattern while the chocolate is still wet.
- Storage Tip: These pops are best enjoyed within 2-3 days and should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare these pops a day in advance for parties or Halloween gatherings, making your event planning a breeze!
- Kid-Friendly Activity: Get children involved in decorating the marshmallows for a fun family cooking experience.
- Variation Idea: Experiment with different colored chocolates or sprinkles to customize your pops for any occasion.
