Our Harvest Marshmallow Pops are a festive and yummy Thanksgiving dessert that is so easy to make.  These chocolate-covered marshmallow treats are super delicious and perfectly colored for Autumn. They would be a great Thanksgiving Treat for this year’s Holiday Parties or even an Autumn Bake Sale.

How to Prepare the Marshmallows

Step 1:  Prepare the marshmallows before melting the chocolate. Marshmallows are like snowflakes … no two are the same, so you want to make sure you have like ones together. We sort through the bag of marshmallows and match them up in sets of threes.
Step 2: Place the first marshmallow on the lollipop stick.
Step 3:  Add the second marshmallow, and adjust them on the lollipop stick.
Step 4:  Add the third marshmallow but only press the marshmallow halfway down onto the stick.  You do not want the stick to come out the top of the third marshmallow or the marshmallow will dry out.

How to Prepare the Chocolate

Step 5: Place the 1/2 cup of melting wafters on a microwave-safe dish or paper plate. (This amount of chocolate should be enough to cover four Marshmallow Pops.)
Step 6: Microwave the chocolate for 30 seconds, check it, and give it a stir.
Step 7: Continue to microwave the chocolate, 10 seconds at a time, Alternating between heating and stirring.
Step 8: Once the chocolate is almost completely melted, give it a final stir to make sure it is completely smooth. 

How to Cover the Marshmallows in Chocolate

Step 9: Roll the marshmallows on the stick in the melted chocolate.
Step 10: If you have problems rolling the marshmallows in the chocolate, have a spoon handy and you can spoon the chocolate over the marshmallows and smooth out the chocolate on the marshmallows.
Step 11: Don’t forget to dip the top of the marshmallow into chocolate.
Step 12: Once the marshmallow pop is completely covered with chocolate, lightly tap the stick on the edge of the plate to get the excess chocolate off.  Give it a once-over to make sure it is all covered and place it on a piece of parchment paper.  This will leave a “flat side” on the marshmallow, so if you want it rounded on all sides you will have to let them dry standing up and for that, you will need a form brick to put the sticks into. 

How to Decorate the Marshmallow Pops

Step 13: We drizzled colored candy melts on our Harvest Marshmallow Pops for decoration. While the chocolate was drying, we melted 15-20 Wilton Orange, Yellow, and Peanut Butter Candy Melts in Ziploc bags.  Once melted, we cut the tip off the bags and drizzled the candy over the marshmallow pops.  Make sure you only cut the very very tip of the bag. You only want a small hole to give yourself more control over the drizzle.  Alternating colors, drizzle the melted candy melts over the Harvest Marshmallow Pops.
