Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large white marshmallows
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate or candy melts
- ½ cup rainbow nonpareils or sprinkles (use gluten-free if needed)
- 12 pop sticks or wooden skewers
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or coconut oil
- Optional: edible glitter or colored sanding sugar for extra shimmer
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place sprinkles in a small bowl nearby.
- Insert a pop stick halfway into each marshmallow, ensuring it is secure but not squished. Set aside on the parchment paper.
- Melt the white chocolate or candy melts with 1 teaspoon of vegetable or coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler.
- Dip each marshmallow fully into the melted candy coating, letting excess drip back into the bowl for a smooth, even coat.
- Immediately sprinkle rainbow nonpareils generously over the coated marshmallow or roll/tap in the sprinkles bowl for full coverage.
- Place the dipped marshmallows back on the parchment paper and let them set at room temperature for 20-30 minutes until the coating hardens.
- Optional: Dust with edible glitter or colored sanding sugar once the coating is slightly firm but still tacky.
- Serve immediately or store as directed.
Notes
Thin the candy melts with a teaspoon of oil for easier dipping and a glossy finish. Work quickly when applying sprinkles as the coating sets fast. Store marshmallow pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week. Bring to room temperature before serving for best texture.
