Christmas Tree Marshmallow Pops
Marshmallow pops are one of my favorite treats to make for the holidays because they are so easy to make and they are so easy to make holiday themed to match the holiday we are celebrating.
Marshmallow pops are easy to make, all you need is large marshmallows, candy melts and sprinkles. They are a fun marshmallow pop that even the kids can get involved in making.

What Do I need To Make these?
Star Sprinkles. The jumbo stars on top of the marshmallows might be a little on the tricky sanctify you can find them on Amazon or at a local craft store. Most grocery stores carry the little flower sprinkles that you can substitute for the star if you would like.
Candy Melts. You want to use green candy melts, I like using the dark green candy melts, but you can also use the bright green candy melts
Sprinkles. You have a few options when it comes to the sprinkle choices for these Christmas marshmallows, you can do the regular rainbow color nonpareil’s to look like calling lights or you can do the white nonpareil’s to look like white lights. It all depends on my mood which color sprinkles I use.
Lolipop sticks. Personally, I love making Christmas marshmallows and turning them into pops because they are the perfect Christmas treat for kids!
Tips for Making Chocolate Dipped Marshmallow Pops
Melting chocolate. It is important to use a quality melting chocolate when you are dipping marshmallows in chocolate.
Use a Double Boiler to melt chocolate. As easy as it is to melt chocolate in the microwave I find it much easier to dip marshmallows when I am melting chocolate in a double boiler.
Dipping Marshmallows in the melted chocolate. You can use a fork, a spoon, or your fingers but I find that to be messy. I suggest grabbing this Dipping Tool 3-Piece Set that will make it MUCH easier to dip if you are not planning on making these marshmallow trees into marshmallow pops.
What is the Best Way to melt chocolate?
I personally use the double boiler method as I find it to be easier, head on over and read up on how to melt chocolate with a double boiler, if this is your first time melting chocolate with a double boiler.
If you have never worked with melted chocolate, don’t stress it is really easy to do. You can melt the chocolate in the microwave or use a double boiler.
How to Store Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows
After making these chocolate covered marshmallow pops, let the chocolate harden completely and then store in an airtight container.
When you are storing chocolate covered marshmallows you do not need to store them in the fridge unless it is warm and the temperature is warm enough to melt the chocolate.
How to Thin Chocolate when Making Chocolate covered Marshmallows
If your chocolate is thick you can add a little shortening to help thin out your chocolate. This is not always needed, but if you need to just add a teaspoon at a time to the chocolate and stir it well to combine and melt the shortening into the chocolate.

How to Make Christmas Tree Marshmallow Pops
Melt the chocolate candy melts in a microwave or double boiler according to package directions until they are fully melted.
Dip the lollipop sticks into the chocolate and then into the marshmallow. Then dip the marshmallows into the melted candy, turning to cover them completely. Tap the stick on the edge of the container to get of the extra chocolate.
Sprinkle with the sprinkle of your choice, i also find it easiest to pour the sprinkles in a bowl and roll the chocolate covered marshmallow in the sprinkles.
Top with the star.
Stand the marshmallows upright in a glass filled with uncooked rice or beans. Put the glass in the fridge until the chocolate has cooled and hardened slightly about 5 minutes.
