These Halloween Marshmallow Pops are too good to pass up. Are you looking for an easy Halloween food craft to do with the kids? This ooey-gooey treat is so much fun and tasty too. I think marshmallows are one of my kids’ favorite desserts and with good reason.
Any which way you serve them – they work! Well, this Halloween Marshmallow Pops recipe is colored to resemble something a bit spooky. Reminds me of a goblin, right? Or some fun little creature. You can play around with the colors if you’d like, but the flavors will be the same – and the happy smiles from the recipients as well.
What great party props! I just love how bright and bold they are. The kids will race right towards them if you decide to use them as table centerpieces. Consider places them inside medium-sized vases.
Or better yet, place them on every dish as you set a table. What a way to welcome friends to sit down for a meal. Lots of options with this sweet treat. So many spooky options. Marshmallow pops are totally versatile!
Halloween Marshmallow Pops Recipe – Purple Polka Dots
I will say that you probably do NOT have most of these ingredients at home. You will need to go out and grab a few of these items at your local craft store.
Ingredients:
- 10 large marshmallows
- 10 Wilton candy sticks – get the thicker candy sticks, the thin one don’t hold the weight of the marshmallow and chocolate.
- 12 oz. Wilton purple chocolate candy melts
- Halloween sprinkles
- 1-2 short cups/mugs to stand the marshmallows up in after dipping
Halloween Marshmallow Pops Recipe Directions:
#1. Insert one candy stick into the base of each marshmallow and set aside.
#2. In a microwave-safe dish, heat the purple chocolate candy melts in 30-second increments. Stir every 30 seconds until melted. My microwave took about 2 ½ – 3 minutes. Let cool 3-4 minutes before dipping your marshmallows.
#3. Dip each marshmallow one at a time in the purple chocolate. Use a small spoon to help cover the marshmallow completely and let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
#4. Sprinkle the marshmallow with the Halloween sprinkles before the chocolate sets and stand the marshmallow up in the cup/mug.
#5 Repeat steps #3 and #4 with all the marshmallows. Once they are all dipped and sprinkled place the mugs in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. If not serving immediately, store these Halloween marshmallow pops in a cool dry are so the chocolate does not melt.
*Makes 8-10 servings. 1 marshmallow = 1 serving.
