Marshmallow Firecracker Pops Recipes

MARSHMALLOW FIRECRACKER POPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Press a straw all the way through 3 marshmallows. Pull the marshmallows back down, so the straw is not sticking out of the end. This will leave a hole for the top candy.
• Cut the sour straws into pieces that are about 3/4 inch long.
• Melt the white melting wafers according to the package directions. Let cool slightly.
• Place the sanding sugars in 3 separate bowls.
• Use a spoon to cover the marshmallows with white chocolate. Tap the straw gently to remove as much of the excess chocolate as possible without bending the straw.
• Push one of the sour straws into the top of the marshmallows.
• Hold the top marshmallow over the bowl of red sugar and use a spoon to gently cover the top marshmallow while you turn the straw. Be very careful to keep it on just the top marshmallow. Roll the straw around while the marshmallow is over the red bowl, so the excess sugar falls into the bowl.
• Hold the marshmallows over the bowl of white sugar and use a spoon to gently cover the middle marshmallow while you turn the straw. Roll it around to remove the excess sugar.
• Hold the marshmallows over the bowl of blue sugar and use a spoon to gently cover the bottom marshmallow while you turn the straw. Roll it around to remove the excess sugar.
• Place the marshmallow firecrackers on a piece of wax paper to set up.
• To serve the marshmallows, place them in jars filled with candies.

MARSHMALLOW POPS

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate- or white chocolate-almond bark (or both) in a double boiler (melt separately if using both). Next, melt the blue and orange candy melting wafers separately in double boilers. Stir them all until they are nice and smooth. These will be your marshmallow coatings.
• One by one, dip the very tip of each lollipop stick into one of the coatings. Then stick that end of the stick into a marshmallow until it's not quite all the way through. Repeat with the rest of the marshmallows, standing them up as you go.
• Next, roll each marshmallow in the coating of your choice, and then tap the stick gently on the side of the double boiler to get rid of the excess. Using your fingers, sprinkle the topping of your choice all over the coating. For a rocky road version, dip in the chocolate and roll in the chopped pecans. For a s'mores version, dip in the chocolate and roll in the graham cracker crumbs. For a cookies and cream version, dip in the white chocolate and roll in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies.
• Set the pops, stick-side up, on a piece of waxed paper, or stick them into florist foam (used to make flowers stand up).

MARSHMALLOW S'MORES POPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lay the marshmallows on the foil, long side facing up (as opposed to standing up on the short end). Place under the broiler and cook until the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted, 10 to 15 seconds. Cool completely on the baking sheet. The marshmallows will firm up again in the center so you can skewer them.
• While the marshmallows cool, put the graham crackers in a resealable plastic bag and seal. Crush with a meat mallet, rolling pin or can until they are fine crumbs with a few small chunks.
• Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbs and cook, stirring, until toasted and a few shades darker, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, pour onto a plate and cool completely.
• Once the marshmallows have cooled, skewer them and set aside.
• Finely chop the chocolate and reserve one-quarter of the chocolate separately. Put the rest in a heatproof bowl and set over a small pot with 2 inches of simmering water, making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the reserved chopped chocolate until melted. This technique will help the chocolate set hard without having grey streaks, called bloom, on your pops.
• Drizzle the skewered marshmallows with some melted chocolate and sprinkle with crumbs. Set the sticks into the open grids in a wire rack, so they stay upright, until the chocolate is set. Repeat with the remaining marshmallows, chocolate and crumbs.
• Fill a few tall glasses with marshmallows and set the finished pops, stick-side down, into the glasses for serving.
