Ingredients

• 12 large marshmallows
• 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
• 1 cup assorted sprinkles, crushed candies, or colored sugar
• 12 lollipop sticks or wooden skewers

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Station:Lay out parchment paper on a baking tray to prevent sticking. Arrange your sprinkles or candy toppings in small bowls for easy dipping.
2. Melt the Chocolate:In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil if you want a smoother texture.
3. Assemble the Pops:Insert a lollipop stick into each marshmallow, pushing gently until it’s secure but not all the way through.
4. Dip the Marshmallows:Hold a marshmallow by the stick and dip it halfway into the melted chocolate. Spin it gently to allow excess chocolate to drip off.
5. Add the Festive Touch:Immediately roll or dip the chocolate-covered marshmallow into your chosen toppings, ensuring they stick evenly.
6. Set and Chill:Place the decorated marshmallows upright on the parchment paper. Once all pops are decorated, refrigerate them for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
