Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Marshmallow Pops
- 12 large marshmallows
- 12 lollipop sticks
Decoration
- Assorted sprinkles
- Edible glitter
- Wax paper
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with wax paper to prevent sticking and set it aside for later use.
- Insert Lollipop Sticks: Carefully insert a lollipop stick into each marshmallow, ensuring it is secure but not through the other side. Set these aside for dipping.
- Melt Chocolate Chips: Place milk chocolate chips in one microwave-safe bowl and white chocolate chips in another. Microwave each in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each session until the chocolates are completely melted and smooth.
- Dip Marshmallows in Milk Chocolate: Dip half of the marshmallows into the melted milk chocolate, gently tapping them to remove any excess chocolate. Place the dipped marshmallows on the prepared baking sheet.
- Dip Marshmallows in White Chocolate: Repeat the dipping process with the remaining marshmallows, this time using the melted white chocolate. Place them alongside the milk chocolate dipped ones on the baking sheet.
- Decorate the Pops: Before the chocolate sets, quickly decorate each marshmallow pop with assorted sprinkles and edible glitter to add a magical touch.
- Set the Chocolate: Place the baking sheet with the decorated marshmallow pops into the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to harden completely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, your Hocus Pocus Pops are ready to be served and enjoyed at your magical-themed event or party.
Notes
- Ensure the chocolate is fully melted but not overheated to prevent burning or seizing.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with candy melts for easier melting and more color options.
- Store pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness.
- Use wax paper or parchment paper to prevent sticking during the chocolate setting process.
- Feel free to experiment with different sprinkles to match various party themes or holidays.
