Ingredients and Supplies

How to make St. Patrick’s Day Marshmallow Pops

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. 
  • In a small, microwaveable bowl, melt 1 – 1 ½  cups of one color candy melts according to package instructions. Do not overheat. Once candy is smooth, put one marshmallow on a stick (stick can be poked all the way through except for the marshmallow you plan to be on top).
  • Dip the marshmallow into the candy melts at a 45° angle, twisting the stick until the marshmallow is fully covered. Gently tap the stick on the edge of the bowl to get rid of excess candy. 
  • *If adding sprinkles or sanding sugar, add while candy melts are still wet. This will make them stick once the candy dries. For gel or drizzling, add once candy is dry. 
  • Once a marshmallow is ready to dry, carefully remove it from the stick (using scissors works great) and set it on the parchment paper, the side with the hole facing upwards. 
  • If you’d like the marshmallow to have a smooth top, put the stick into the styrofoam for the marshmallow to dry. 
  • Repeat all steps again with the other color of candy melts. 
  • Once all marshmallows are completely dried and decorated, assemble 3 on each stick and eat!

How to make each marshmallow:

Green marshmallows:

  • White candy melt drizzle
  • Silver diagonal confetti sprinkles
  • Silver sanding sugar
  • Leprechaun Belt: Gold confetti sprinkles with black food gel (For the buckle, add 3 gold confetti sprinkles on top and bottom of where black belt line would be while candy is wet. Once dry, draw the black belt line and add the remaining 2 gold sprinkles to complete).

White marshmallows:

  • Gold diagonal confetti sprinkles
  • Gold sanding sugar
  • Gold food color spray with green sanding sugar
  • Pot of Gold: Black food gel and gold confetti sprinkles (done when candy is dry, you can use a dot of black food gel on the back of the sprinkle to make it stick).

Tips & Tricks

  • ✔ Don’t Overheat the Candy Melts – Melt them in short intervals, stirring in between to keep the texture smooth.
  • ✔ Use a Styrofoam Block – This helps the marshmallows dry evenly without smudging the decorations.
  • ✔ Add Sprinkles While Wet – Sprinkles and sanding sugar will stick best when the candy melts are still tacky.
  • ✔ Let Gel Designs Dry Completely – If adding details like leprechaun belts, let them fully set before handling.
