Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Large White Marshmallows
- Colored Candy Melts (plant-based)
- Sprinkles and Edible Glitter (natural)
- Natural Gelling Agent
- Sturdy Lollipop Sticks
- Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural) – optional
- Grape Juice (natural) – optional
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Lay out parchment paper on a clean tray or baking sheet, then firmly insert lollipop sticks into the bottom of each marshmallow to ready them for dipping.
- Melt the Candy Coating: Gently melt the colored candy melts in a microwave or double boiler, stirring frequently to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency without overheating.
- Dip and Decorate: Hold each marshmallow pop by the stick and dip it into the melted coating, rotating gently to cover completely. Shake off any excess coating and immediately sprinkle with sprinkles, edible glitter, or your chosen toppings before the coating sets.
- Set the Pops: Place the decorated pops upright on the parchment-lined tray to cool and harden completely, usually 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature, or speed up by placing in a cool area briefly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, enjoy your Marshmallow Pops, gift them, or use them as charming party table decorations.
Notes
- Keep candy melts smooth by adding a little coconut oil (natural) if they become too thick.
- Use vibrant, plant-based candy melts for best color and flavor.
- Apply sprinkles immediately after dipping for optimal adhesion and appearance.
- Warm lollipop stick ends slightly before inserting to increase stability.
- Store finished pops in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent stickiness.
