Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Main Ingredients
- 12 large marshmallows
- 12 lollipop sticks
Decoration
- Assorted sprinkles
- Edible glitter
- Wax paper (for lining)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with wax paper and set it aside to prevent the pops from sticking during decoration and refrigeration.
- Insert Sticks: Push a lollipop stick into each large marshmallow carefully and place them on a clean surface, ready for dipping.
- Melt Chocolate: In two separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips separately by heating for 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until both are smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Marshmallows in Milk Chocolate: Dip half of the marshmallows into the melted milk chocolate, gently tapping to remove any excess chocolate, then place them standing on the wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Dip Marshmallows in White Chocolate: Repeat the dipping process with the remaining marshmallows using the melted white chocolate, laying them next to the first batch on the baking sheet.
- Decorate Pops: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle each marshmallow pop with assorted sprinkles and edible glitter to add a festive, magical look.
- Set the Chocolate: Place the decorated marshmallow pops in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate coatings to fully harden and set.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is firm, remove the pops from the refrigerator and serve these fun and colorful Hocus Pocus Pops to your guests or family.
Notes
- Use good quality chocolate chips for a smoother and richer coating.
- If microwave melting is unavailable, chocolate chips can be melted in a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Customize decorations with your favorite themed sprinkles or edible markers for extra flair.
- Store the finished pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh longer.
- Allow pops to come to room temperature a few minutes before serving for best flavor and texture.
