    Tips For Making Christmas Marshmallow Pops

    • Use standard sized marshmallows (not jumbo or mini) - I generally use these ones.
    • Add a little coconut oil or vegetable oil to your milk chocolate when melting as this will make it easier to coat the marshmallows.
    • Allow the milk chocolate to set before drizzling with white chocolate.
    • Red & green mini M&Ms can be bought in a tube of mini multi-coloured M&Ms - simply remove the red and green ones to use. 
    • Cake pop sticks are small plastic sticks that can be bought from the baking aisle of supermarkets.
    • If you have a cake pop holder/stand, this is very useful for holding the marshmallow pops upright while they set. Alternatively, you can insert them into a piece of foam while you decorate.

     

    Storing Christmas Marshmallow Pops

    These marshmallow pops can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week. Please note that the colour of the M&Ms will fade in the fridge. If you live in a cold climate, you can keep them stored at room temperature for 1 week. This recipe is not suitable for freezing.

    If giving as a gift, simply wrap in cellophane or place into a clear plastic bag and tie with a ribbon.

    Ingredients

    • 12 marshmallows
    • 250 g milk chocolate
    • 150 g white chocolate
    • 24 green mini M&Ms
    • 12 red mini M&Ms
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Place one marshmallow onto the top of a cake pop stick.
    • Repeat with the remaining marshmallows.
    • Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave on 50% power for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until just melted (if using a Thermomix, melt on 60 degrees, Speed, 2, 3 minutes - scrape down the sides halfway through).
    • Dip each stick into the melted chocolate, allow any excess to drip off and then place into a cake pop holder (or a piece of florists foam).
    • Allow the milk chocolate to set (it will only take a couple of minutes).
    • Meanwhile, melt and white chocolate in the microwave on 50% power for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until just melted (if using a Thermomix, melt on 60 degrees, Speed, 2, 2 minutes - scrape down the sides halfway through).
    • Using a teaspoon, place a dollop of white chocolate onto the top of each marshmallow and use your spoon to push some of the chocolate over the edge (to resemble dripping).
    • Working quickly, place 2 green mini M&Ms and 1 red mini M&M onto the white chocolate (if your chocolate has already set, simply add a tiny bit of melted chocolate to the bottom of the M&Ms and 'glue' them on).
    • Tie a ribbon around the base of each marshmallow.
    • If giving these marshmallow pops as a present, simply wrap in cellophane and tie with ribbon.

          These look gorgeous! How long will they keep for and do I need to store in the fridge?

            Hi there, no you don't need to store them in the fridge and they'll last up to a week in an airtight container. xx
