Glitter Marshmallow Pops

This tutorial on how to make glitter marshmallow pops has been recently updated for 2020.

We are certainly facing challenging times in our world right now and it is likely your annual Easter traditions or family celebrations aren’t going forward as previously planned.

One thing that seems to be in short supply are eggs.

We suggest this easy alternative to dyeing Easter eggs. We’re hoping your local grocer has plenty of marshmallows on hand. Hurry and add them to your Instacart right now so you can get a delivery before Easter.

Alternatives to Dyeing Easter Eggs

These “Insta-Glam Glitter Eggs” from the April ’17 issue of Good Housekeeping caught my eye as a very simple but beautiful way to dress up your eggs without the traditional dye and vinegar.

The traditionalist in me loves the idea of coloring Easter eggs but we often end up tossing out the eggs and it all is such a waste.

Last Minute Easter Treats

Marshmallows dipped in melted candy and sprinkled with edible glitter or sprinkles is not only a perfect alternative to dyed eggs this Easter, they are also a delicious treat.

How to Make Marshmallow Pops for Easter

Supplies: Kraft Jet Puffed Original Marshmallows, treat sticks, Wilton Candy Melts in Bright White, sprinkles

1. Melt Wilton Candy Melts as directed
2. Dip marshmallow in melted candy and coat
3. Set on wax paper or cooling rack
4. Before candy coating completely dries, sprinkle your favorite Easter sprinkles onto marshmallow pop
5. Place in refrigerator for candy coating to harden
6. Stick Wilton Treat Stick in marshmallow
7. Wrap with plastic wrap or cellophane paper and tie a ribbon around stick

Helpful Hints for the Perfect Marshmallow Pop

• Hand-dip the marshmallows instead of inserting the stick first and then dipping. Hand-dipping gives you far more control but watch your fingertips because the melted candy can be very hot.
• Use a cooling rack on top of a sheet pan so that the sheet pan can catch any runaway sprinkles.
• Store extras in a sealed container.
