Get the kids in on the fun this holiday season with these adorable pumpkin marshmallow pops that they can help you decorate too.
I can’t believe I’m really typing this as I do, but it’s really almost October which means Halloween. And Halloween means it’s time for sweet treats and fun costumes. I have a recipe for you and your kids to make some fun pumpkin marshmallow pops together.
Not only are they easy to make but also delicious to snack on. These would be perfect for a Halloween party or for your kid’s classmates at school. Your kids will definitely enjoy decorating them too.
Pumpkin Marshmallow Pops
Ingredients & Supplies:
- Orange candy melts
- Marshmallows
- Pretzel sticks
- Leaf sprinkles
- Paper straws or lollipop sticks
- Black edible marker
- Cake pop stand
- Start by breaking off the ends of the pretzel sticks to use for the stem of the pumpkin.
- Melt your candy melts according to package directions until smooth.
- Dip the end of the paper straw into the candy melt and then into the end of one marshmallow.
- Dip in the melt until completely covered.
- Place a pretzel piece in the top of the marshmallow with a leaf sprinkle beside it before the chocolate hardens.
- Place the treat pop in the stand to harden.
- Once you have finished dipping your marshmallows and the candy melt has hardened, use the edible marker to draw the faces of the jack-o-lanterns.
And now you have not only a sweet treat but one that is just as adorable. Who can resist that little pumpkin face?
Plus the great thing is that you can leave the faces off and have pumpkin pops for Thanksgiving too.
I love a dessert and treat that anyone can make and have ready to go even at the last minute when you are scrambling for ideas.
Have a frightfully fun Halloween and let me know what your kids are dressing up for Halloween this year. I would love to hear any fun or unique ideas.
You will also enjoy these eyeball cake pops for Halloween that I made one year. They turned out perfect and so realistic.
