DIY Marshmallow Lollipops

Do you want a fun treat that you can do with your kids? I made chocolate-covered marshmallow lollipops, and lil man was very excited to help me make them.

You will need:

• Marshmallows - try to use Kraft Jet-Puffed, they're the best ones


• Candy Wafers - Milk or Dark


• Lollipop sticks or skewers


• Sprinkles (optional)


• Medium-sized saucepan


• Glass bowl (like Pyrex)


• Cookie sheet or other tray, lined with parchment paper

Here's how to make them:

1. Fill a medium saucepan with water half-way. Heat on Medium-High.

2. Place candy wafers in glass bowl and place bowl on top of the saucepan. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.

3. Let chocolate melt, about 5-10 minutes. When the wafers become shiny, you can start stirring with a wooden or silicone spoon/spatula.

4. While the chocolate is melting, you can prepare the lollipops. Insert sticks into marshmallows and place upside down in the tray.

5. Prepare sprinkles, if you're using them. Use shallow trays or bowls.

6. Make sure chocolate is completely melted before starting. Do not remove it from the boiling water to prevent cooling/hardening.

7. Dip each marshmallow into the chocolate, making sure to coat the bottom and all around. Tap lightly to remove any excess chocolate.

8. Dip the chocolate-covered marshmallow in the sprinkles, again making sure to coat the bottom and all around. Or, you can coat the sides and leave the bottom un-sprinkled, your choice.

9. Place the decorated lollipop in the paper-lined tray to cool and harden.

10. Repeat with the rest of the marshmallows. You can use different kinds of sprinkles, or leave them un-sprinkled. You're the chef!

11. Once they have cooled and hardened, dig in!

I hope you enjoy making these. Let me know what you think!
