I have been making this cute, festive chocolate marshmallow pops since 2004 Thanksgiving.  You don't know how many batches I make every year since then. 

Everybody in my extended family expects to have these cuties when it comes to big dinner parties.  I even use different sprinkles for different occasions and festivals.  And you know what, everybody loves it.  From toddlers to the elderly, everybody enjoys it so much that you will be surprised that it is gone in no time.

CHEF NOTES

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to freeze the marshmallow.  Yes, you heard me right.  Freeze the marshmallow.  This step is super easy and important.  It determines your success of making this chocolate marshmallow recipe.

When you buy marshmallow in the store, make sure that it doesn't stick on the bag.  Also, each piece of marshmallow should move inside the bag without sticking to each other.  This is my experience throughout the years of making this chocolate marshmallow recipe countless time.   This will save you a lot of frustration.

As you know by now that I served this many times throughout the years.  I even served it during the warmer season.  What I found was that even with air-conditioning blasting indoor, the chocolate gets the condensation from the humidity in the air during summer time.  Although everything was intact, the dessert didn’t look very appetizing.  So, I highly recommend you serving this dessert any time, but summer.

This tip is super easy and does not cost you extra.

I made this for my little one’s Batman-themed birthday party one year.  With a piece of tape or glue to stick 2 pieces of confetti together on top of the party picks.

If you have stickers which are in a very unified shape, like all are circles, you can easily personalized this dessert by putting 2 stickers back to back together on top of each frill pick.

Chocolate Marshmallow Recipe and Directions

Ingredients

1 Bag (10oz / 283g) Marshmallow
1 Bag (12oz / 340g) Chocolate Chips/Morsels (Any flavor you like.  My preference is semi-sweet.)
Sprinkles or Color Sugar (Any kind; I always get the one that goes with the theme of the party or festival)
1 Bag Medium Length Skewers (toothpicks are fine, too)
2 Cups (17oz / 473g) Water

Directions

  1. Put marshmallow in freezer overnight. (REMEMBER: This is a very important step.  Your success of this recipe is purely based on this single step.)
  2. Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
  3. Bring 2 cups (17oz / 473g) of water to boil in a medium sauce pan.
  4. When it boils, put a glass or stainless steel bowl on top to make a double boiler.
  5. Use the double boiler to melt the chocolate.
  6. Do it by batches (I usually do 6-8 marshmallow at a time.  Because once the marshmallow is out of the freezer, it softens very quickly that it is hard to handle a soft marshmallow and melted chocolate.  Plus, the chocolate would not stay on the marshmallow).
  7. Stick party picks or skewers through marshmallow (just how it looks like in the picture).
  8. Dip the marshmallow into the melted chocolate and sprinkle the sprinkles on top.  (Use a shaker to add sprinkles.  And the pick between your fingers should be spinning while the sprinkles are sprinkled.  This will guarantee the entire chocolate surface is covered evenly.)
  9. Transfer the marshmallow on the wax-paper lined baking sheet.
  10. Put into the fridge for 20-25 minutes to let chocolate harden and serve.
