Marshmallow Pops

Confession time...

I have a bloggy crush on Bakerella. Her photos are beautiful, and they really pop off the page. (No pun intended!)

I also love Jenn over at Hostess with the Mostess.

They both make me want to C-R-E-A-T-E in the kitchen! So I tried marshmallow pops, and I thought I'd share the mistakes I made along the way in case you want to try them, too.

Here's my inspiration...

from Hostess with the Mostess

I started with a trip to Wally World to get my supplies.

I couldn't find lollipop sticks, so I went with these

I chose the Zombie Mix for sprinkles. The colors are way cool!

The first thing I did was put the chocolate in a bowl and microwave according to the instructions on the back of the package.

Then I added blue food coloring. (My mistake!)

The more I stirred, the harder the chocolate got. I had to re-do my chocolate, but use only a little blue food coloring. Since doing these, I've learned about candy melts and how to color chocolate. {The Hungry Happenings blog has some great info about it!}

The next step was to insert a Skinny Stick in a marshmallow and dip it in. I then kind of rolled the chocolate-dipped marshmallow in a bowl of Zombie Mix.

Here's the final product....

I'm no Bakerella, but the kids and their friends loved them. Isn't that what it's all about?
