How To Make Valentines Marshmallow Pops

Step One: Assemble the marshmallows by threading three onto each lollipop stick or straw, leaving a small gap between them to make dipping and decorating easier.

Step Two: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring between each to ensure a smooth consistency. Be careful not to overheat.

Step Three: Dip the marshmallows into the melted chocolate, coating all three evenly. Gently tap the stick on the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.

Step Five: Melt the white and red candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls, following the same method as the chocolate. Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the white candy melts over the chocolate-coated marshmallows, then repeat with the red candy melts.

Step Six: Sprinkle with red heart sprinkles immediately after drizzling. Allow the marshmallow pops to sit on the parchment paper until the chocolate and candy melts have fully hardened. Once set, the marshmallow pops are ready to serve and enjoy!

Expert Tips

Chill to Set: Place the decorated pops on parchment paper and chill briefly to set the chocolate perfectly.
Use Fresh Marshmallows: Soft, fresh marshmallows hold their shape better and taste delicious.
Melt Chocolate Slowly: Use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts to melt the chocolate smoothly without burning.
Work Quickly: Dip and decorate one marshmallow pop at a time so the chocolate doesn’t harden before adding sprinkles.

Variations

Dark Chocolate Love: Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor and drizzle with white chocolate for contrast.
Candy-Coated Pops: Roll the dipped marshmallows in crushed candies like peppermint or heart-shaped sprinkles.
Strawberry Surprise: Dip in pink-colored white chocolate and decorate with edible glitter or pearls.
Nutty Treats: Sprinkle finely chopped nuts or crushed pretzels for a sweet and salty twist.

Best Way To Store Valentines Marshmallows

Refrigerate: Place the pops in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days to keep them fresh.
Avoid Heat: Keep the pops away from heat or direct sunlight to prevent the chocolate from melting.
