Ingredients
- 36 large marshmallows
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup white candy melts
- ½ cup red candy melts
- ¼ cup red heart sprinkles
- 12 lollipop sticks or decorative straws
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Assemble the Marshmallows: For each lollipop stick or straw, push 3 marshmallows onto it, leaving a bit of space between each marshmallow for easier dipping and decorating.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-second increments, stirring in between until smooth. Avoid overheating.
- Dip the Marshmallow Pops: Hold each stick and dip all three marshmallows into the melted chocolate, gently tapping the stick on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- Set the Chocolate Coating: Place the chocolate-dipped marshmallow pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle with White and Red Candy Melts: Melt the white and red candy melts separately in microwave-safe bowls. Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the white candy melts over the chocolate-covered marshmallows. Repeat with the red candy melts and then add heart sprinkles.
- Let Harden and Serve: Leave the pops on the parchment paper until the chocolate and candy melts are completely set. Once hardened, they’re ready to serve and enjoy!
