Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries (preferably medium to large) – 1 pound
- Marshmallows – 1 bag (10 oz)
- Chocolate chips (milk or dark) – 1 cup
- Coconut oil or vegetable oil – 1 tablespoon
- Sprinkles (optional) – ¼ cup
- Lollipop sticks or skewers – 10 to 12
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries and Marshmallows: Rinse the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure that the strawberries are completely dry for the chocolate to adhere nicely. If your marshmallows are large, you may want to cut them in half for easier assembly.
- Assemble the Pops: Insert a lollipop stick or skewer into the stem of each strawberry until it’s about halfway in. Next, take a marshmallow and push it onto the stick just above the strawberry, creating a delightful combination of fruit and sweets. Set aside.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Dip the Pops: Hold the strawberry and marshmallow combo by the stick and dip them into the melted chocolate, ensuring they’re coated evenly.
- Decorate with Sprinkles: If you want to add a festive touch, promptly sprinkle the tops with your choice of sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
- Cool and Set: Place the dipped strawberry marshmallow pops onto a piece of parchment paper to cool and let the chocolate set, which usually takes about 10-15 minutes. For faster setting, you can place them in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, your strawberry marshmallow pops are ready to be served! These bites of joy can be displayed in a bouquet style or laid out on a decorative platter.
