Peppermint Chocolate Covered Marshmallows Pops

Whenever we go to Disneyland at Christmas time my kids always ask for the peppermint marshmallow sticks. While the Peppermint marshmallows at Disney have some Disney magic in them, the great thing is that you do not have to go to Disneyland to get them. They are so easy to make at home and they are one of my favorite easy holiday treats to make at home!

While one of the highlights of going to Disneyland is these holiday marshmallows the great thing is that you can make them at home and they are just as tasty. Might not be as magical because we all know that Disney marshmallows have a special magic, the ones you make at home are just as tasty!

Variations of this Recipe

Change up the chocolate. I like using milk chocolate or dark chocolate but you can also use white chocolate or different colored chocolate melts.

Use flavored Marshmallows. You can also use different flavored marshmallows when making these chocolate marshmallow pops. My kids loved it when I used stuffed marshmallows to make them. You can even use homemade marshmallows!

Add more flavors. You can also drizzle peanut butter, caramel, and other flavor toppings along with the melted chocolate to change things up. Or you can dip the marshmallow wands into homemade caramel, peanut butter, or hot fudge before dipping in melted chocolate.

Use Lolipop sticks. I know some people say to use paper straws however after testing it many times I have found that lollipops sticks is a much better option and they are much sturdier for being held.

Tips for Making this Recipe

Melting chocolate. It is important to use a quality melting chocolate when you are dipping marshmallows in chocolate.

Use a Double Boiler to melt chocolate. As easy as it is to melt chocolate in the microwave I find it much easier to dip marshmallows when I am melting chocolate in a double boiler.

I personally use the double boiler method as I find it to be easier, head on over and read up on how to melt chocolate with a double boiler, if this is your first time melting chocolate with a double boiler.

How to Thin Chocolate when Making Chocolate covered Marshmallows

If your chocolate is thick you can add a little shortening to help thin out your chocolate. This is not always needed, but if you need to just add a teaspoon at a time to the chocolate and stir it well to combine and melt the shortening into the chocolate.

How to Store Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows

These chocolate covered marshmallow wands will stay fresh for up to a week, when stored properly. Once the chocolate has hardened, store them in an airtight container. If you need to make more than one layer, place parchment paper between layers. 

You can store these at room temperature or in the fridge. If your home is humid or warm, I do recommend the fridge to prevent any melting of the chocolate.

How to Make Peppermint Chocolate Covered Marshmallows Pops

Place your candy canes into a freezer ziptop bag. Using a rolling pin or meat mallet to smash the candy into small pieces.

Melt the chocolate candy melts in a microwave or double boiler according to package directions until they are fully melted.

Place three marshmallows onto each stick. Then dip the marshmallows into the melted candy, turning to cover them completely.

Tap the stick on the edge of the container to get rid of the extra chocolate. Place them onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Sprinkle the candy cane piece over the top of the chocolate.

Place the marshmallows into the fridge for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
