In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-second increments, stirring in between until smooth. Avoid overheating.

Dip the Marshmallow Pops

Hold each stick and dip all three marshmallows into the melted chocolate, gently tapping the stick on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.

Let Harden and Serve

Leave the pops on the parchment paper until the chocolate and candy melts are completely set. Once hardened, they’re ready to serve and enjoy!

Hint: to make dipping easier, chill the marshmallows in the fridge for 5–10 minutes before dipping. The cold helps the chocolate set faster and creates a smoother coating.

Substitutions & Variations

Different Colors: Use pink, purple, or any color candy melts to match your theme.
Sprinkle Variety: Swap heart sprinkles for glitter sprinkles, nonpareils, or edible glitter.
Chocolate Options: Try dark chocolate or white chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a different flavor.

💭Crucial Success Tips

Make sure to let the chocolate set before drizzling with the candy melts. This keeps the layers neat and prevents the colors from blending together.
