  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Marshmallow Pops

  • 36 large marshmallows
  • 12 paper straws
  • 12 blue sour straws

Coating and Decoration

  • 1 (10 ounce) bag white chocolate melting wafers
  • Red sanding sugar
  • White sanding sugar
  • Blue sanding sugar

Instructions

  1. Assemble Marshmallows: Press a paper straw all the way through 3 marshmallows. Then, pull the marshmallows back down slightly so the straw does not stick out of the end, leaving a hole at the top for the candy straw.
  2. Prepare Candy Toppers: Cut the blue sour straws into pieces about 3/4 inch long to top each marshmallow pop.
  3. Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate melting wafers according to the package instructions. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly before using.
  4. Set Up Sugars: Pour red, white, and blue sanding sugars into three separate bowls for easy dipping and decoration.
  5. Coat Marshmallows: Using a spoon, cover each set of marshmallows on the straw with the melted white chocolate. Gently tap the straw to remove excess chocolate without bending the straw.
  6. Add Candy Topper: Insert one piece of the blue sour straw into the hole at the top marshmallow of each pop.
  7. Decorate Top Marshmallow: Hold the top marshmallow over the bowl of red sugar. Use a spoon to gently cover it completely, turning the straw as needed. Roll the marshmallow to shake off any excess sugar back into the bowl.
  8. Decorate Middle Marshmallow: Repeat the process over the white sugar for the middle marshmallow, ensuring even coverage and excess removal.
  9. Decorate Bottom Marshmallow: Finally, coat the bottom marshmallow with blue sanding sugar in the same manner.
  10. Set and Dry: Place the finished marshmallow pops on a piece of wax paper to allow the chocolate and sugar coatings to set completely.
  11. Serve: Display the marshmallow firecrackers in jars filled with candies, making them easy to grab and festive for any celebration.

Notes

  • Be careful when inserting the straws to avoid tearing the marshmallows.
  • Use white chocolate melting wafers for smooth melting and easy coating.
  • Allow the chocolate to cool slightly to avoid melting the sanding sugar during decoration.
  • Store finished marshmallow pops at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
  • Consider using colored candy melts for different occasions or themes.
