Star Marshmallow Pops

Ingredients:

Red, White and Blue Campfire Star shaped marshmallows
Red, White and Blue Sprinkles
White Candy Wafers
Red and White Striped Straws
Candy Melting Dish or other microwave safe dish

First you will melt your chocolate. There are several ways to do this, but I prefer the microwave. Although the microwave is arguably the most difficult way to melt chocolate, it is also the fastest! I like to microwave my chocolate wafers on 40% power for 20 seconds at a time stirring in between until the are melted. But you can see all my tips and tricks for melting chocolate here if you have trouble with it like I used to.

I hate the clean-up of melted chocolate so I like to use disposable silverware to stir it with and a disposable chocolate melting paper bowl to melt it in. But that is personal preference and not at all necessary.

Anyway, once your chocolate is melted, stick a straw into the bottom of each marshmallow star and carefully dip just the front side of the marshmallow into the chocolate.

Lightly tap to allow excess chocolate to drip off.

Place on a piece of wax paper and add sprinkles. Allow these star marshmallow pops to set for several hours before moving or eating. Once they are set they are ready to eat!

I love how perfectly festive these are! They would be perfect for the 4th of July or for any patriotic celebration like Memorial Day, Veteran’s Day or even all summer long!
