Candy Corn … is there a more iconic Halloween candy?  People love it or hate it … we love it.  But since not all people do we have come up with a Candy Corn themed dessert that doesn’t actually contain any candy corn! Introducing Candy Corn Marshmallow Pops featuring Marshmallows which is a major ingredient of actual candy corn (but you don’t have to tell your candy corn hating Halloween party guests that little tidbit!) They would be a fun treat for a Halloween party or as a pre-Trick or Treat dessert.  And the kids will love helping you make them!

How to Make the Marshmallow Pops

Step 1: Place the bag of white chocolate melting wafers in a measuring cup or a microwave-safe bowl. (This amount of chocolate should be enough to cover 6-8 Marshmallow Pops.)
Step 2: Microwave the chocolate for 30 seconds, check it and give it a stir. Continue to microwave the chocolate, 10 seconds at a time, Alternating between heating and stirring. Once the chocolate is almost completely melted, give it a final stir to make sure it is completely smooth. 
Step 3: Pour the chocolate onto a plate, we find this is the easiest way to cover the marshmallow pop in chocolate.
Step 4: 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. Place the first marshmallow on the lollipop stick. Add the second marshmallow, and adjust them on the lollipop stick. 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.

Steps 5-6: Roll the marshmallows on the stick in the melted white chocolate. 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. Don’t forget to dip the top of the marshmallow into chocolate.
Step 7: 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.

Steps 8-9: Use candy melts to decorate the Marshmallow Pops. Candy melts can be found in the Cake Decorating section in most Craft Supply stores, Amazon, and Walmart. We used Yellow, Orange and White. While the chocolate on the marshmallow pops is drying, melt 15-20 each of different colored candy melts in individual Ziploc bags in the microwave. Microwave them in 20-second intervals, massage the baggies to make sure the candy melt mixture is melting, and then microwave again if needed.
Step 10: Once melted, cut the tip off the bag and drizzle the first color of candy melt over the marshmallow pop.

Step 12: Now do the same thing with the Orange melted candy melts on the second third of the marshmallow pop.
Step 13: Finish with the Yellow candy melt drizzle on the bottom of the marshmallow pop.
Step 14: Allow the marshmallow pops to harden completely before serving.
