🍬 Instructions
-
Insert sticks:
Push a lollipop stick into each marshmallow, stopping about 1/8" from the top. Set aside. -
Prep toppings:
Pour each topping into its own small bowl. Lay out two long sheets of wax paper on plates or a tray for cooling. -
Melt coatings:
In separate bowls, melt vanilla and chocolate candy coatings in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between. -
Coat marshmallows:
Roll one marshmallow in your chosen candy coating. Use a spoon to smooth if needed. -
Top and drizzle:
Dip the top of the marshmallow in the same coating, then optionally drizzle with the opposite color for a multi-tone look. -
Decorate:
While the coating is still warm, dip the marshmallow into your toppings—either all around or just on top for a cleaner drizzle effect. -
Cool and repeat:
Place decorated marshmallows top-side down on wax paper. Repeat for each pop, one at a time.
