Valentine's Marshmallow Pops

 



Here's a Valentine's treat that is super easy, and perfect to send along with your little sweeties to share with their friends.  My daughter's love to help make these.  I've made them several times (and for different holidays by simply changing the sprinkles) after seeing the idea several years ago on Grace Violet.

All you need...
One bag of Strawberry Marshmallows
Chocolate
Sprinkles
Lollipop sticks
Small cellophane bags (if you want to wrap them up)

~ Directions ~
1.  Push a lollipop stick into each marshmallow.
2.  Melt some chocolate (chocolate chips are not recommended)  I usually use Ghirardelli chocolate (found in the baking aisle).  You will probably need 4-8 oz. of chocolate, depending on how many marshmallows you dip.
3.  Dip one marshmallow at a time into the chocolate.
4.  Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then sprinkle your choice of sprinkles onto the chocolate.
5.  Set the marshmallow pop (stick down) in a mug to allow the chocolate to set (you can put the mug of pops in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes)
6.  Once the chocolate is set, if desired, wrap each pop in a small cellophane bag.
7.  Share with friends =)


If you're feeling domestic this weekend, here are a few other Valentine's treats to try...
