Description

Marshmallow Pops are a fun, simple, and irresistibly sweet treat combining fluffy marshmallows with colorful plant-based chocolate coatings and natural flavorings. Perfect for celebrations or as a delightful snack, these pops offer customizable flavors and festive decorations that bring joy to kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Large marshmallows: 20 pieces
  • Plant-based chocolate chips (natural): 1 cup
  • Sprinkles (natural): ½ cup
  • Chopped nuts or coconut flakes: ½ cup
  • Colorful food coloring (natural): as needed
  • Paper sticks or wooden skewers: 20 pieces

Optional Ingredients

  • Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural): 1 teaspoon (for savory dip variant)
  • Apple cider vinegar (natural): 1 tablespoon (for glaze or caramel apple twist)
  • Natural gelling agent: 1 tablespoon (for jelly-like toppings or coatings)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Set up a flat surface covered with parchment paper or a silicone mat to place your pops once they are dipped. Organize your ingredients so everything is within arm’s reach for smooth assembly.
  2. Insert Sticks into Marshmallows: Carefully push a wooden skewer or paper stick into the center of each marshmallow, making sure not to squish it. This step makes dipping and decorating effortless.
  3. Melt the Plant-Based Chocolate Chips: Using a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, gently melt the plant-based chocolate chips until smooth. Stir frequently to avoid burning and help achieve a beautifully glossy coating.
  4. Dip the Marshmallows: Holding each stick, dip the marshmallow into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat evenly. Lift the pop and allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. For extra fun, dip the coated marshmallow in sprinkles, nuts, or coconut immediately.
  5. Let Them Set: Place the decorated Marshmallow Pops on the parchment-lined surface and let them cool at room temperature or pop them into the refrigerator briefly to harden faster.
  6. Add Final Touches: Once set, drizzle with colorful melted coatings or sprinkle additional toppings like crushed natural gelling agent-based jellies for extra flair.

Notes

  • Use room temperature marshmallows as they absorb coatings better without shrinking or melting unevenly.
  • Work quickly; dipped marshmallows dry best when covered immediately to avoid sticky mess.
  • Double dip for thickness; for sturdier pops, dip them twice in melted chocolate letting the first coat firm up slightly.
  • Experiment with coatings using natural food coloring mixed with plant-based yogurt for a creamy alternative coating.
  • Use thick sticks that won’t bend easily to keep pops upright and easy to handle.
