Tips for Making this recipe
Melting the chocolate. You can melt the chocolate in the microwave on 30 second intervals or you can melt chocolate in a double boiler. It all depends on personal preference.
Use wax paper. Using a wax paper lined baking sheet make it easy to set the marshmallow pops up after you have dipped them in the melted chocolate and the colored sanding sugar.
Dip while the chocolate is still warm. To get the most sanding sugar on the bottom of the marshmallows you want to dip them in the sanding sugar as soon as you have dipped them in the chocolate.
