Instructions

  • Push between one and three marshmallows onto each lollipop stick and set aside.
  • Place the melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Lower a marshmallow pop into the melted chocolate and turn the stick a few times to ensure the chocolate is fully coating the marshmallows.
  • Lift the marshmallow stick out of the chocolate. Tap the stick on the side of the bowl a couple of times to allow the excess chocolate to drip off the marshmallows, then place the chocolate-coated treat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle with desired decorations. If you are drizzling them with a different chocolate, wait until the first coat of chocolate is set.
  • Repeat until you've made the desired amount of marshmallows.
  • Allow the chocolate to competely set before moving to containers for storage.

Notes

If you don't want to make lollipops, you can simply dip individual marshmallows into the chocolate and follow the remaining directions as described.
If you want your chocolate shell to be extra thick, you can re-dip the marshmallows after the first coating of chocolate has set.
If you have chocolate left over, pour the melted chocolate onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  When the chocolate has solidified, break it into pieces and store it in an airtight container or bag.  It can be remelted to use later.
