Easy Sprinkle Halloween Marshmallow Pops

|

I love candy apples at Halloween but they are not exactly quick and easy – especially if you have kids in the kitchen! As a fun alternative, my daughter and I whipped up these Halloween Marshmallow Pops for a kid-made Halloween treat!

A quick & easy party treat that kids will love to make! These orange and black sprinkle Halloween Marshmallow Pops are spooky cute fun!

Sprinkled Halloween Marshmallow Pops

Halloween is hands-down my daughter’s favorite holiday, which is funny for a kid so easily scared but maybe that’s part of the thrill. She loves decorating our house, planning her costume and doing as many Halloween-themed crafts or sensory activities as I can handle preparing!

However, a lot of classic Halloween treats are not so easy for kids to help make. So we set to work brainstorming some fun Halloween recipes that other little chefs can help prepare for Halloween.

First up are these cute dipped marshmallows which are made even spookier by those cute dipping sticks! Have your child pick out the colors and sprinkles and get to work. These marshmallows take about 10 minutes from start to finish – and that includes clean-up time.

These are a new classic and I hope your kids love making them, too.

Tip: portion out the sprinkles for the kids to prevent losing an entire container of sprinkles.

How to Make Easy Dipped Halloween Marshmallows

Candy Making Tip: We love these silicone baking mats because they’re reusable and our candy pops right off when it’s dry!

Place 1 cup of candy melts plus 1 Tablespoon shortening in a microwave-safe bowl.

Heat for 25 seconds, stir, and then reheat. Continue until the candy melts are completely smooth and liquid.

While the candy melts are heating, insert skewers into the marshmallows.
