Easter Egg Marshmallow Pops & Free Printable Tags
by Matthew Mead
A fun Easter treat means something sweet embellished with something even sweeter. In my new book Flea Market Finds with Matthew Mead we share a wonderfully easy vintage Easter celebration but I wanted to team with Amy to bring you one more great idea.
Our Easter egg marshmallow pops are made from Jet Puffed marshmallow eggs available at grocery stores. With some royal icing, lollipop sticks and some downloadable tags from Amy you can make these special treats for Easter baskets, party favors or the group of kids in your child’s youth group.
Make it a family event and have an Egg pop decorating party with ribbons, silk flowers and icing flowers from your local cake decorating supply store.
Here is what you”ll need:
- Jet Puffed egg shaped marshmallows
- Royal icing
- lollipop sticks
- icing flowers (such as these)
- pastry bags and tips
- ribbon
- vintage flowers
- Easter Tags from Living Locurto
- paper punch
- string
- cellophane bags
On a clean work area arrange all of your supplies. Begin by placing lollipop stick into the wide end of the egg. Use royal icing in an array of spring colors to decorate the surface of the egg Easter designs. Or use a dot of royal icing to glue on pre-made icing flowers. Let egg decorations dry completely overnight.
Wrap lollipop sticks with seam binding or narrow ribbon. Tie a bow around the neck of the pop and embellish with silk flowers and foliage.
Print and cut out the Free Printable Easter Tags and punch hole in each and thread with twine.
Tie pops in bouquets and wrap in cellophane or place single ones at each place setting as a favor.

How cute are those Easter pops? My kids would absolutely love them.
Someone above said they couldn’t “find them”. Is it safe to now assume that there are flat marshmallow egg shapes in packages to be found at some stores?
Amy or Anyone – do you push the marshmallow to shape or have they come out with egg shaped marshmallows? Thanks.
They look adorable. I have a couple of questions, first when you said to let it dry overnight, do you need to let them dry in a container or just free, and then with how much time you can prepare them ahead, one week, two weeks….Thanks….they are really cute!
These are SO PRETTY!
Oh my gosh these are adorable, thank you for the tutorial
Thanks for linking up Amy!
I featured your post in my wrap up! http://tidymom.net/2012/12-easter-ideas/

They look so good, I just want to eat them all up and relax. Haha. Kudos to the talented Matthew Mead, he’s surely creative with those.
These are darling tags. Thanks for sharing this darling download.
Thanks for sharing this sweet treat and the printable tag. I can’t believe that Easter is almost here!
Aw! Those are so cute!
They look so pretty! We decorated these last year and I have looked for them everywhere this year to make something else out of them. Where did you find them? I have looked in Kroger and Publix grocery stores and Walmart.
These are adorable! I am really excited about the book. Will we be hearing more about it and seeing more of the crafts in it? I am off to Amazon to try o ind out more about it. . .
Congratulations! I am so happy I found your site last week though The PW cookbook giveaway. Any plans to do a giveaway on your new book?
Thanks so much!
Good idea ! Thanks a lot… well… where can I find the ingredients here (France)… ?
Oh Amy, they are so cute and adorable. My girls will want to make them and just in time since next week is Spring Break!
