Homemade Marshmallow Pops

Today I bring to you an easy, delicious treat- Marshmallow Pops!
YUM!
Ok, these were SO SO good!
The kids I made them with loved it- and it's easy enough for them to do.
The best thing about these babies is that you can make so many different kinds- smore's pops, pink, chocolate, pink with butterfly sprinkles, pink with flower sprinkles... the possibilities are endless!
So without further ado, here we go!

Ingredients:
-Treat sticks
-Sprinkles of choice (optional) and crushed graham crackers (also optional)
-1 (10.oz) Bag of Marshmallows
-1 Package of white melting chocolate (I suggest Wilton)
-1 package of milk chocolate melting chocolate (Once again, I suggest Wilton)
-Food coloring (optional)

These are just SOME of the many sprinkles we used!

Nonpareils look pretty on these fabulous pops

Directions:
1. I had the kids put the marshmallows on sticks- it's easy for them to do, and it's busy work. We used the whole bag.

2. After all the pops are on sticks, pour the sprinkles into bowls so that dipping is easier.

3.Pour the white chocolate into a bowl and melt in the microwave according to instructions, or for 30 second intervals. I recommend the Wilton chocolate because it is thin and runny when melted, perfect for dipping marshmallows.
4. Stir melted white chocolate immediately and add food coloring if desired. Stir quickly. (we used pink)
5. Dip a marshmallow into the chocolate, and immediately roll in sprinkles.

6. Set the marshmallow pop into a cup, stick side down, so that the chocolate doesn't smudge.

7. Repeat with half of the marshmallows. Set in freezer for about 15 minutes.
8. Melt chocolate in the microwave according to directions or for 30 second intervals.
9. Dip a marshmallow into the chocolate, and immediately coat with sprinkles.
10. Place in a cup, and repeat with remaining marshmallows.
11. Freeze for 15 minutes.
12. Indulge :)
