Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- Large Marshmallows
- Wooden Sticks or Lollipop Sticks
Coatings and Toppings
- Plant-Based Chocolate Chips
- Crushed Nuts or Sprinkles
- Natural Food Coloring (natural)
- Natural Gelling Agent (optional)
- Apple Cider Vinegar (natural) or Grape Juice (natural)
- Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workstation: Lay out parchment paper or a silicone mat on a flat surface to catch drips. Insert wooden sticks carefully into each marshmallow without pushing all the way through, ensuring they are secure for easy handling.
- Melt Your Coating: Melt plant-based chocolate chips or your chosen coating in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring frequently to avoid burning and achieve a smooth, glossy texture. Add any natural food coloring or flavorings here if desired.
- Dip the Marshmallows: Hold each marshmallow pop by its stick and dip it carefully into the melted coating. Rotate to cover evenly, letting any excess drip off before placing on the prepared surface to create a crisp outer shell.
- Decorate Immediately: Before the coating sets, sprinkle toppings such as crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut so they adhere well and remain vibrant.
- Chill and Set: Place the coated marshmallow pops in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes or until the coating hardens. Once set, they are ready to serve or wrap as gifts.
Notes
- Use soft, fresh marshmallows for a perfectly fluffy center.
- Use room temperature ingredients to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth coating.
- Avoid over-dipping; a thin, even layer of coating provides the best finish.
- Decorate immediately after dipping to keep toppings from falling off.
- Store in an airtight container to keep freshness and coating crispness.
