Ingredients
- 10 ounces marshmallows one bag, depending on how many you're making
- 8 to 12 oz chocolate melted (I usually use Ghirardelli chocolate, or Merckens chocolate candy melts)
- Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Push a lollipop stick into each marshmallow.
- Melt some chocolate (I usually use Ghirardelli chocolate, or Merckens chocolate candy melts). You will probably need 8-12 oz. of chocolate, depending on how many marshmallows you dip.
- Dip one marshmallow at a time into the chocolate.
- Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then sprinkle your choice of sprinkles onto the chocolate (hold marshmallow over a plate or bowl, to catch the excess sprinkles).
- Set the marshmallow pop (stick down) in a mug to allow the chocolate to set (you can put the mug of pops in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes)
- Once the chocolate is set, wrap each pop in a small cellophane bag, if desired.
Notes
Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler, or in the microwave at 50% power. If heating in the microwave, be sure to heat it for short intervals (about 30 seconds) at a time, stirring between intervals. When the chocolate appears about 1/2 melted, remove from the microwave, and stir until fully melted. Do not over heat the chocolate, it will burn and will not be usable.
