Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12 jumbo marshmallows (gluten-free)
- 12 cake pop sticks
- Sprinkles for hair
- Candy eyes
- Sweets for mouth
Candy Coating
- 170 g (1 cup) orange candy melts
- 170 g (1 cup) green candy melts
- 170 g (1 cup) yellow candy melts
Instructions
- Prepare the Marshmallows: Insert a cake pop stick into each jumbo marshmallow, making sure it is secure and stable for dipping.
- Set Up Decorations: Arrange the sprinkles, candy eyes, and sweets on a plate or bowl for easy access while decorating.
- Melt Candy Melts: In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the orange, green, and yellow candy melts according to the package instructions until smooth and pourable.
- Dip and Decorate: Dip each marshmallow into the melted candy coating of your choice, ensuring it is fully covered. Immediately dip the top of the marshmallow into the sprinkles to create the hair texture.
- Add Eyes and Mouth: Place candy eyes and sweets on the marshmallow to form the face while the candy coating is still wet so they stick properly.
- Allow to Harden: Set the decorated marshmallow pops aside on parchment paper or a cooling rack to harden completely before serving.
- Repeat: Continue with the remaining marshmallows until all are dipped, decorated, and set to harden.
Notes
- Use gluten-free marshmallows to ensure the pops are safe for those with gluten intolerance.
- For easier handling, chill the candy melts slightly before dipping to prevent dripping.
- Customize the decorations to suit different Halloween themes or other occasions.
- If candy melts are not available, white chocolate can be used and colored with oil-based food coloring.
- Store the marshmallow pops in a cool, dry place to keep them fresh and prevent melting.
