Ingredients & Tools Needed

For the Marshmallow Pops:

How to Make Rainbow Marshmallow Pops

Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate

• In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth.
• If needed, stir in ½ teaspoon of coconut oil to create a silky, dippable consistency.

Step 2: Prepare the Marshmallows

• Insert a lollipop stick or paper straw into each marshmallow.
• Set out small bowls of rainbow sprinkles for easy dipping.

Step 3: Dip & Decorate

• Dip each marshmallow into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
• Immediately roll the coated marshmallow in rainbow sprinkles, covering all sides evenly.

Step 4: Let Them Set

• Stand the marshmallow pops upright in a styrofoam block or place them on parchment paper to dry completely (about 15 minutes).
• Once set, they’re ready to enjoy!

☘️ Pro Tips for Perfect Rainbow Marshmallow Pops

✔ For an extra pop of color: Use colored candy melts instead of white chocolate.
✔ For a fun twist: Add gold dust or edible glitter for a magical “pot of gold” effect!
✔ For easy gifting: Wrap each pop in a clear treat bag and tie with a green ribbon.
✔ For a mess-free coating: Use a spoon to pour sprinkles over the marshmallows instead of rolling them.
