Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12 jumbo marshmallows (gluten-free)
- 12 cake pop sticks
- Sprinkles for hair
- Candy eyes
- Sweets for mouth
For Coating
- 170 g (1 cup) orange candy melts
- 170 g (1 cup) green candy melts
- 170 g (1 cup) yellow candy melts
Instructions
- Prepare Marshmallows: Insert one cake pop stick into each jumbo marshmallow firmly and set them aside on a clean surface to prepare for dipping.
- Organize Decorations: Lay out the sprinkles, candy eyes, and sweets in separate bowls or plates to have them ready for decorating the marshmallow pops after dipping.
- Melt Candy Coatings: Melt the orange, green, and yellow candy melts in separate bowls according to the package instructions, usually by microwaving in short intervals and stirring between each, until smooth.
- Dip Marshmallows: Dip each marshmallow into one of the melted candy melts, fully coating it, then immediately dip the top part into the sprinkles to create a textured “hair” effect.
- Add Facial Features: While the coating is still wet, place candy eyes and sweets to form a mouth onto each marshmallow pop carefully to create fun Halloween faces.
- Set to Harden: Place the decorated marshmallow pops upright or on parchment paper and allow the candy coating to harden completely at room temperature before serving.
Notes
- Use gluten-free marshmallows as specified for a gluten-free treat.
- You can substitute candy melts with colored white chocolate if preferred.
- To speed up hardening, place the pops briefly in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
- These are perfect for children’s Halloween parties or as festive treats around the holiday.
- For extra fun, try other Halloween themed decorations like edible glitter or colored sugar.
