Instructions

Assemble: Thread 3 marshmallows onto each candy cane. Handle the candy canes gently to avoid breaking. If left wrapped, gently wash them before use.
Melt the chocolate: Place the melting chocolate, white melting chocolate, and colored melts (green and red) in microwave-safe bowls. Microwave each in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. Follow package instructions if they differ.
Coat: Quickly coat half of the marshmallows with melted brown chocolate and the other half with white chocolate by dripping the chocolate over the marshmallows using a spoon. Avoid coating the candy cane loops. Place the coated marshmallow pops on parchment paper to set.
Decorate: While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle crushed candy canes and holiday sprinkles over the pops. Use melted colored candy melts in a piping bag or by drizzling to add decorative designs. Set aside for about 5 minutes to harden completely.
Serve: Once hardened, the Christmas Marshmallow Pops are ready to be enjoyed or packaged for gifting.

Notes

Storage: Store the marshmallow pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days. In warm climates, refrigerate to prevent melting.
Freezing: Freezing is not recommended for these marshmallow pops as it may affect texture and coating.
Tip: Crush candy canes easily by placing them in a ziplock bag and using a rolling pin, or use a food processor.
Tip: Let the candy coating fully harden before storing to maintain their shape and prevent sticking.
