Ingredients
Scale
Marshmallows and Chocolate
- 9 regular size marshmallows
- 1 cup Belgian dark chocolate (measured before melting)
- 1 cup Belgian white chocolate (measured before melting)
Decorations
- Oil-based candy color (for coloring chocolate in red and green, used for Christmas tree designs)
- 3 mini pretzels (for making Rudolph pops)
- 3 mini marshmallows (for Santa’s hat decoration)
- Sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Melt Chocolates: Gently melt the Belgian dark chocolate and Belgian white chocolate separately, preferably using a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in short bursts, stirring frequently to ensure smooth consistency.
- Color the White Chocolate: Divide the melted white chocolate into portions and add oil-based candy colors to create red and green chocolates, perfect for decorating Christmas tree designs.
- Prepare Marshmallows: Insert sticks into each of the 9 marshmallows to create pops, ensuring they are secured for dipping.
- Dip Marshmallows: Dip each marshmallow pop into the desired melted chocolate until fully covered, letting excess drip off before placing them on parchment paper to set.
- Decorate Pops: While the chocolate coating is still wet, decorate the pops with sprinkles. Use mini pretzels to create antlers for the Rudolph designs, and place mini marshmallows to resemble Santa’s hat on some pops.
- Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate coatings to firm up completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving for best presentation.
Notes
- These Christmas marshmallow pops are easy and fun to make, perfect for holiday gatherings or as a festive treat to share.
- You can customize your decorations with different sprinkles and colors to suit your holiday theme.
- Oil-based candy colors are best for coloring chocolate as water-based colors may cause the chocolate to seize.
