Directions

  • Melt white or regular chocolate. Use Wilton Chocolate Melter or melt chocolate in bowl. Since microwaves vary, times will vary. Heat until just melted
  • Chocolate should be warm not hot. Chocolate scorches very easily and will taste burnt if heated too long. Microwave 60 seconds on 50% power, stir well, and repeat 30 seconds at 50% power until melted.
  • Insert lollipop sticks into the marshmallow almost half way.
  • Dip marshmallow into chocolate a little more than half way.
  • Tap stick gently while slowly rotating the stick to remove excess. The rotating makes it smoother all around.
  • Add sprinkles and candy decorations. Place on parchment paper to set. It will not stick using parchment paper.

Centerpiece Idea

Here's a fun way to serve your marshmallow lollipops. Arrange it bouquet style in a party themed dish with other decorative items. Add some colored grass to match and you've got a perfect centerpiece for your birthday party.

Customize your lollipops by using different colored sprinkles to match the party colors. All types of sprinkles can be used and you can add a small candy on the top to dress it up.

Dry this one standing up. Using a lollipop stick, poke holes into a piece styrofoam about 3 inches apart so lollipops won't touch while drying. Be sure styrofoam is wide enough that it won't tip while the pops are in it drying.
