What You’ll Need

  • Jumbo Marshmallows (Preferably Two Bags)
  • White Chocolate Candy Melts
  • Light Blue Candy Melts
  • Long Lollipop Sticks
  • Makeshift or Actual Double Boiler
  • Parchment Paper

Instructions

  1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. As you create the pops, place them here in preparation for dipping.
  2. Open your marshmallow bags and select the pieces that are dry (in other words, their confectioner’s sugar coating hasn’t been removed and they haven’t stuck to other marshmallows yet). These pieces are the preferred ones to use.
  3. Match marshmallows up by their shape (none will be perfectly circular) and stack them two high, each marshmallow in a vertical orientation.
  4. Put a lollipop stick through each couple of marshmallows; the stick should go far through both marshmallows, but just short of going clear through the top marshmallow.
  5. When all of the two-high stacks have been put on sticks, set the cookie sheet aside.
  6. Melt a candy wafer mixture of the two colors (approximately 25% blue, 75% white to get the shade we used) over low heat in a makeshift or actual double boiler.
  7. While waiting for them to melt, set aside a plate and carefully pour the sprinkles onto it.
  8. When the candy wafers have melted, take a marshmallow stick and completely submerge the marshmallows. Pull the stick out, let some of the excess drip off, and quickly transfer the pop to the sprinkle plate.
  9. Roll the marshmallow pop through the sprinkles so that they set into the candy coating while it cools. When the sprinkles have thoroughly covered the pop, place it back onto the parchment paper to cool.
  10. Repeat on all of the other pops, and place them in the fridge to speed cooling to finish them.

    What is the babushka with the zipper on the left in the trio of photos with the yellow centerpieces and picture of the mom? I’m looking for favors for a party and would to know where you found these.
