Since I am not crafty in any way… nor am I a chef or baker… we must keep it simple. Colby and I are perfectly fine with a cheap date night or just sitting home with the kids.
Valentine’s Day
After careful consideration, we decided marshmallow pops would be both simple and tasty for us to try. My girls were thrilled. And I was excited to see just how easy they really were to make. Not to mention, they were delicious!
Marshmallow Pops
Are you ready for this? You will love how super simple these are to make.
Ingredients:
- Marshmallows (we grabbed both white and pink… which turned out to be strawberry flavored)
- Baker’s White Chocolate or Vanilla Coating
- Sprinkles (assorted, your choice)
- Lollipop sticks
Directions:
- Begin melting chocolate. We preferred doing it over the stove, rather than microwave, so we could control the consistency better.
- Set up sprinkles in a bowl, small cup, or plate for easy dipping.
- Insert lollipop sticks into marshmallows to prepare for dipping.
- Once chocolate has reached desired thickness, dip a marshmallow in and the let cool. Note: We found that by letting the dipped marshmallow sit and cool for a minute or two, the coating did not run off the marshmallow. You may know this but we had to learn via trial and error. It was great though… we got to “eat our mistakes.” Yum! Back to the directions.
- After a short cooling period, the marshmallow is ready to dip in the sprinkles of your choosing.
- Prop marshmallow pop in a stick in a holder of some sort to finish hardening.
- Wrap. Gift. Serve. Deliver. However you want to present them. And make sure to enjoy one or two yourself. You deserve it!
That’s it! Told you, simple and easy. Well, because that is how we roll!
