8 Easy Ways to Decorate a Marshmallow Pop
I love making and decorating Marshmallow Pops for a quick and easy party snack!
Remember those fun Lego Marshmallow Pops I made for my son’s birthday party? Well, I recently came across these fabulous marshmallow recipe ideas by Melissa and Kellie from Icing Designs and just had to feature their cute party ideas here.
These no bake treats are super easy to make and look amazing on your party table. I can’t wait to decorate some marshmallow pops now. Thanks girls for the yummy party recipe ideas and marshmallow inspiration!
Chocolate Marshmallow Pops
Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallow Pops – Dip your marshmallow in melted peanut butter chips, let it dry and dip again half way up in melted milk chocolate.
S’mores Marshmallow Pops– Dip in milk chocolate and roll in crushed graham crackers.
Cookies and Cream Marshmallow Pops – Dip in white chocolate and roll in crushed Oreos.
Turtle Marshmallow Pops – Melt caramel candies (let them cool a little bit before you dip the marshmallow or it will melt) dip the marshmallow in and let it cool, then dip it again in milk chocolate. Roll the bottom in crushed pecans.
Pink Marshmallow Pops
Pretty in Pink Marshmallows – You can’t go wrong with white chocolate and pink sprinkles for a girl’s birthday party or baby shower. I love the cupcake topper idea too!
Birthday Cake Marshmallows
Birthday Cake Marshmallow Pops are so cute! Dip the marshmallow in white chocolate and let it dry, then dip the top in chocolate (or use any color you would like). Add some sprinkles and put a real or candy candle on the top.
How do you make a candy candle?
A candy candle can be made by adding a strip of melted candy onto wax paper with a toothpick. Let the strip dry, then dot the top with a dap of the melted candy and sprinkle with yellow sugar sprinkles.
Get more detailed directions for making the candle on Icing Design’s blog.
Which one is your favorite? I’m thinking mine is a tie between the Cookies & Cream and Chocolate Peanut Butter. YUM!
How to Make a Marshmallow Pop
Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 whole marshmallows
- 1 cup candy melts
Instructions
- Add candy melts to a small glass bowl or glass and microwave for 30-60 seconds. Remove and stir until melted. You might need to heat another 30-60 seconds until completely melted.
- Dip the end of a cake pop stick into the melted candy and poke into the marshmallow. Let candy dry.
- Hold the stick and dip the entire marshmallow into the melted candy. Place on parchment paper until dry.
- Optional: Decorate with sprinkles, caramel, chopped nuts, etc.
Allow the kids to participate in the decorating process; they’ll enjoy dipping the marshmallows, adding the icing eyes, and sprinkling on the sanding sugar hair.

8 ways to dress up a marshmallow. Something fun to do this weekend: http://t.co/xbRjlsY
My kids would love making these dressed up marshmallows from Living Locurto!! http://fb.me/Ccg9i9Kt
Could these be any cuter!? My baby is turning 1 in a few weeks and I’m definitely going to have to do something with these…for the older kids at least!
How cute is this! RT @livinglocurto: You're gonna LOVE this! 8 Ways to Dress Up A Marshmallow http://t.co/58IRn8z
I or I should say my 9 yr. old made the Fourth of July version of your marshmallow treats and let’s just say I’m glad I took pictures. They were such a huge success that not all of our guests even got to see them. Can’t wait to try these ideas!!
These are awesome. I can’t wait to try these myself.
This is great!! We always have marshmallows left over after we make s’mores. These are fantastic ways to use them up!
Turtle sounds utterly scrumptious but time consuming. For ease and taste, I think the chocolate peanut butter one would be my pick. Marshmallow Reeces.. yum!
I just bought a bag of the jumbo marshmallows with no real idea of what to do with them (except toast them) but now the possibilities are endless!! Thank you!
What did you add the to peanut butter chips to make them melt. It was a huge glob of peanut butter chips. There was NO WAY I could dip anything in that. What a huge mess. Please share your secret so I can try again.
Great idea for easy and economical (aka: cheap) appetizer that will wow your guests while maintaining your budget!… http://fb.me/IN2k9otM
So cute! And how creative. I need to come up with an excuse to make a few of these sometime SOON!
The tiny marshmallow birthday cake is my fav! Just darling!

I have an idea…how about just send me some?! These looks amazing!
Wow! I LOVE these! I have 6 y/o party this Sat! I love the white choc w/pink sprinkles w/topper! So dainty. Kids would love the oreo one too! Too many to add to fave list! Thx for sharing!
scrumptious!!!!!! this looks like my next treat for me to make.. I’ll be adding big marshmallows to shopping list tomorrow 🙂
thanks!!!!!
oh man those were fun…. I have a son who loves marshmallows….I will be making these treats for him.
=)
What cute ideas! Although my son’s favorite thing is to shoot them out of is marshmallow shooter. 😉
OMG those look AMAZING!!! I’m book marking these!!
Stumble your post too! ?
Oh my goodness those are cute, adorable & beautiful – seriously!! I love them all!!
I am going to make these for sure, they are amazing!
These are great ideas … thanks for sharing them!
I love these ideas. I was thinking wouldn’t these be awesome with the new giant marshmallows then packaged like candy apples for holiday gifts for teachers and others.
I am in LOVE! These are just beautiful (and, I’m sure, delicious!!!)! What a wonderful (and easy?) way to any occasion special! Thanks so much for the idea!
Wow! I love these. I am thinking of ways I can incorporate this idea into my next party!
Wow. These little guys are gorgeous. Perfect for a fun or fancy party!
My favorite thing about them however is that they would probably be pretty easy to make in small quantities for a family treat or dessert. We’ve made our own “peeps” several times now and I’ve found a marshmallow or two really hits the spot with my boys 🙂
A favorite??? My daughters and I squeeled with delight with each downward stroke of the cursor. The next set of pics would appear and we’d think that was our favorite, then the next and the next. Ha-ha. Love them all. For appearances my favorite would probably be the birthday cake and flavor would probably be the Turtle. =) TFS!
