Marshmallow Pops
It only took a moment...
One minute I was quietly clicking my way through my favorite foodie blogs, minding my own business. The next, I came upon Savory Sweet Life's Rocky Road Marshmallow Pops.
Oh.
Sweet.
Mercy!
It only took a moment to rocket out of my comfy chair and search my pantry for the necessary ingredients.
Lollipop Sticks-check
Marshmallows-check
Chocolate-double check
Sprinkle beauty (nuts, crushed Oreos, etc.)-check
Seriously, 30 minutes after spotting this goodness on Alice's blog, I had my own Marshmallow Pops to savor. I dipped mine in semi-sweet chocolate and sprinkled them with a variety of tasty things: crushed Oreos, sprinkles, and toasted almonds.
As soon as the melted chocolate was ready, my little man came by to see what was happening...
him: "whaaaacha doin' mom?"
me: "Dipping marshmallows in chocolate."
him: "What! Really? Can I help?"
Marshmallow Pops--they bring families together. :) Make Some!
Source: slightly adapted from Savory Sweet Life
Ingredients:
8-10 oz chocolate-dark, semi-sweet, white, whatever makes you happy
1 bag large marshmallows
1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds
various colored sprinkles
1/2 cup crushed Oreos
18-20 lollipop sticks
Directions:
Melt chocolate in the microwave in thirty second intervals, stirring after each time until the chocolate is smooth. Dip a lollipop stick 1/4″ in the chocolate and then into a marshmallow 3/4 of the way through. Dip marshmallows into the chocolate until coated. Tap the stick until excess chocolate has dripped off. Sprinkle dipped marshmallows with whatever tasty option you choose (nuts, sprinkles, etc.) and allow them to dry by sticking the end of the stick into a foam block. Or, if you're like me, you can stick the lollipop sticks in a big bowl filled with dried beans. No foam block to be found in mi casa. I have beans though, and they worked. :) You just need something to keep the pops upright so they can dry.

Great job!!
I love quick things like this, something to hit the spot on a moments notice. Though it sounds like they might be good enough to split families apart fighting over the last one :). And great job on the first picture, as well as for getting your son to pose for the second one :).
Thanks so much for linking to THIS WEEK'S CRAVINGS... we are already enjoying over 100 recipes, so make sure to stop back by and see all the different CHOCOLATE stuff! It's gonna be one SWEET week of all CHOCOLATE!

Oh man! Wish I had seen these yesterday! My daughter is going to a pinkalicious party today and I made pink rice krispy treats last night. I wanted to do the marshmallow pops, but I had no idea how to do it! I'll remember this for next time for sure! Thanks for sharing!
These look fun and I'll bet that my daughter would love to make them with me. Yay another fun summer "cooking" project for me and my girl.
