Ingredients
Scale
Marshmallow Pops
- 12 jumbo marshmallows (gluten-free)
- 12 cake pop sticks
Decorations
- Sprinkles for hair
- Candy eyes
- Sweets for mouth
Coating
- 170 g (1 cup) orange candy melts
- 170 g (1 cup) green candy melts
- 170 g (1 cup) yellow candy melts
Instructions
- Prepare marshmallows and sticks: Insert one cake pop stick into each jumbo marshmallow firmly, then set them aside ready for dipping.
- Arrange decorative items: Lay out sprinkles, candy eyes, and sweets on a flat surface to easily access them during decorating.
- Melt candy melts: In separate bowls, melt the orange, green, and yellow candy melts according to the package instructions, usually by microwaving in short bursts and stirring until smooth.
- Dip marshmallows: Dip each marshmallow into your chosen melted candy melt coating, ensuring even coverage. Then immediately dip the top of the coated marshmallow into the sprinkles to create the ‘hair’ effect.
- Add facial features: Place candy eyes and sweets to form the face — eyes and mouth — on the sticky candy surface while it is still wet.
- Set to harden: Place finished marshmallow pops upright or on parchment paper and let them sit until the candy coating hardens completely.
- Repeat: Continue the process with all marshmallows and allow them to fully set before serving or packaging.
Notes
- Use gluten-free marshmallows to keep this recipe gluten-free.
- Work quickly when decorating after dipping to ensure candy melts don’t harden before you add eyes and sweets.
- Store marshmallow pops in a cool, dry place to prevent melting.
- Use candy melts suited for dipping to avoid clumpy coatings.
- Customize colors and decorations for different holiday themes or parties.
