I love marshmallows and chocolate. They are a winning combination and one that I’m trying to add to everything where I can. For a surprise wedding anniversary party for my parents I made these lovely little finger food sweet treats.

These lovely marshmallow pops are so easy to make and are loved by everyone. I think adding the little paper straw holders really invites everyone to try them. Plus little ones were happy to run off with them like flowers and nibble them like a lolly pop.

Since the party I’ve had a lot of requests to make them for friends and family and their events so I have been busy. I can see why they are delicious and you can eat a lot of these marshmallow lollipops!

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.

They can be stand on their own and look wonderful with all the sprinkles and chopped fruits and nuts. You can organise them so all the flavours are muddled together or separated.

Substitutions and variations

Personally I love strawberries dipped in white chocolate, its a perfect summery treat.

Storing / Making ahead of time options

Due to the nature if these marshmallow chocolate pops they are best served soon after you’ve made them. Otherwise your chocolate may melt and go sticky. Then you may loose your decorations!
