Happy March 17th! AKA- ST. PATRICK’S DAY!
Even if you don’t have an Irish bone in your body- like me, it can still be fun to celebrate!
As you know, I have an obsession with using Pinterest. (If you haven’t yet, follow The City Slicker Blog) This weekend I found this delish recipe of St. Patrick’s Marshmallow Pops, and I decided… hey, why not! Let’s do it.
These St. Patrick’s Day Marshmallow Pops only use 4 ingredients – and they couldn’t be simpler to make. They are pretty enough to wow a crowd, and they are the perfect little bite of sweet to end your meal.
Ingredients
- Green Candy Melts
- Extra Large Camping Marshmallows
- Shamrock Sprinkles
- Paper Straws or Lollipop Sticks
Instructions
- Spread a piece of parchment paper out on your work surface.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt half the chocolate in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth.
- Dip one end of the stick/straw into the chocolate, then press into the center of the marshmallow. Repeat with the remaining marshmallows. This will help the marshmallows stay on the stick/straw.
- Dip the marshmallow about a third to a half way into the chocolate. Tap off the excess chocolate gently. Quickly generously add the sprinkles. Set the marshmallow pop down on the parchment paper candy apple style. Repeat with about 4-5 more marshmallows.
- Heat the rest of the chocolate, and stir until smooth. Repeat the steps above with the remaining ingredients.
- Allow the chocolate to harden completely – 2 hours at room temperature, or 1 hour in the refrigerator. Serve at room temperature.
