Ingredients
Scale
Marshmallows and Decorations
- 9 regular size marshmallows
- 3 mini pretzels (for Rudolph decoration)
- 3 mini marshmallows (for Santa’s hat decoration)
- Sprinkles
Chocolate and Coloring
- 1 cup Belgian dark chocolate (measured before melting)
- 1 cup Belgian white chocolate (measured before melting)
- Oil-based candy color (for coloring chocolate red and green for the Christmas tree pops)
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolates: Melt the Belgian dark chocolate and Belgian white chocolate separately using a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently to ensure smooth, lump-free chocolate.
- Color the white chocolate: Divide the melted white chocolate into separate bowls and mix in oil-based candy colors to create red and green chocolates for festive tree designs.
- Dip the marshmallows: Insert sticks into each marshmallow and dip them into the melted dark or colored white chocolate, ensuring the marshmallow is completely coated.
- Add decorations: While the chocolate is still wet, press mini pretzels onto some marshmallows for Rudolph’s antlers, add mini marshmallows on top to represent Santa’s hats, and sprinkle festive sprinkles on others to add extra holiday cheer.
- Set the pops: Place the dipped and decorated marshmallow pops on a parchment-lined tray and allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate briefly to speed up the process.
- Serve and enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, your Christmas marshmallow pops are ready to be served or packaged as charming holiday gifts.
Notes
- These super-cute Christmas marshmallow pops are easy to make and boast chocolate and marshmallow flavors in every bite.
- Use oil-based candy coloring to ensure the chocolate stays smooth and does not seize.
