A Simple, Festive Process 🍫🟢

Making these marshmallow pops is straightforward, but there are a few key steps to ensure a smooth coating and a quick setting time.

Melting the White Chocolate

Microwave Method: The easiest way to melt the white chocolate chips is in a microwave-safe bowl. Use short bursts (30 seconds), stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth.
Temperature Control: After melting, let the chocolate cool slightly so it is warm, but not hot. Chocolate that is too hot may melt the marshmallow or be too runny for a thick coating.

Dipping and Decorating Tips

Small Batches: It’s best to work in small batches so the chocolate stays warm enough for easy dipping and the sprinkles adhere well before the chocolate starts to set.
Full Coverage: After dipping, roll the marshmallow in the bowl until it is completely coated in the melted white chocolate.
Immediate Sprinkling: Add the shamrock-shaped candy sprinkles immediately after dipping, while the chocolate is still wet.
Easy Cleanup: Place the finished pops on a sheet of wax paper or parchment to cool and set without sticking.

Setting the Pops ❄️

A short time in the refrigerator helps solidify the treat quickly so you can enjoy them faster.

Refrigeration: Place the marshmallow pops in the refrigerator for just five to ten minutes. This brief time is all that’s needed for the chocolate coating to fully set and harden.
Serving: Once the chocolate is firm, they are ready to serve immediately!
