MARSHMALLOWS
Wonderfully soft and squishy, marshmallows are one of my favourite sweet treats. They are perfect when dipped in chocolate and made into chocolate marshmallow lollipops.
CHOCOLATE
In this recipe I used my favourite white chocolate to melt and dip the marshmallows into make these beautiful marshmallow pops. Make sure your marshmallows are dry and your chocolate doesn’t burn while you melt it down.
SPRINKLES
The perfect colourful decoration! Sprinkles make everything look exciting and taste even better. I love decorating my chocolate dipped marshmallow lollipops. You can roll your dipped marshmallows in sprinkles to decorate them.
DRIED FRUIT
Another way to decorate your marshmallows dipped in chocolate is with little pieces of dried fruits like dried cranberries or even dried strawberries!
CHOPPED NUTS
A Christmas crunchy treat! Chopped salted peanuts are wonderful with the sweet creamy milky chocolate that your marshmallow lollipops are dipped in. The sweet and salty flavours are perfect!
How to make – step by step
- Poke a straw into your marshmallows to create the lollipop
- Melt your chocolate and then get ready to dip!
- Once you’ve dipped the marshmallows in the melted chocolate, allow them to dry for just a moment so they become sticky.
- Now it’s time to decorate!
Marshmallow Chocolate Bites Making Station
It is a lovely quick activity and always makes everyone smile to make them. These can be made in advance for parties so great to get done the day before. Cut a paper straw in half (good and sustainable) and push it almost the whole way through the marshmallow.
Melt your choice of chocolate in short bursts in the microwave. I used white this time but all chocolates work really well. Dip the marshmallows into the sprinkles and leave them to set. That is it. All done. Ready to eat.
The finished treats look lovely and were gone very quickly.
Top Tips
- Use a mixture of white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate with your different decorations – it allows for a number of different flavour combinations that tastes wonderful.
- Make sure to put your straws into the marshmallow before you dip them in chocolate, this will make it much easier for you to handle them whilst the chocolate dries
Serving Suggestions
These chocolate marshmallow pops are perfect served as soon as they are decorated.

Recipe
Marshmallow Chocolate Pops

Ingredients
- 200 g marshmallows

- freeze-dried fruit
- chopped nuts

Instructions
- Melt the chocolate slowly in a bowl over hot water. Or in short bursts in the microwave.
- Lay out a piece of greaseproof paper/ parchment paper on a baking tray so they are easy to move.
- Cut the straws in half to make a smaller handle and stick the cut end into the marshmallow. As the marshmallows are sticky they will cling to the straws without having to use anything else.
- Dip the marshmallows in to the chocolate and sprinkle the sides with sprinkles.
- Place on the greaseproof paper and repeat with all the marshmallows.
- Place the tray in the fridge and allow it to cool if it's a hot day. If it's a cool day they should harden in an hour or so.
- When the chocolate is set the treats will peel off the greaseproof paper easily.
