INGREDIENTS AND SUBSTITUTIONS
Marshmallows
Marshmallows are the key ingredients in this recipe. The best type of marshmallows are medium-sized.
Marshmallows are soft, airy candies with a subtle maple flavor. I have never substituted this ingredient, they are the best for this treat. Marshmallows are held together with a skewer or lollipop stick and then coated with a layer of chocolate.
Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate is melted and used to coat the marshmallow. The earthy, chocolatey flavor blends with the marshmallow perfectly. You may use white chocolate with various food colors instead of dark chocolate.
Easter Sugar Sprinkles
To rhyme with the season, we have to sprinkle the coated marshmallows with some sugar sprinkles. During springtime, most groceries have sprinkles made with the spring color palette in mind.
Sprinkle the candy sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet so that they can be able to stick well to the chocolate marshmallows.
EQUIPMENT
Microwave or hot water bath

FAQ: Springtime Marshmallow Pops.
How do I store springtime marshmallow pops?
Springtime marshmallows are perfectly at room temperature in an airtight container for about 7 days.
However, if you live in a hot climatic region, refrigerating the pops would be great to keep them from melting and getting messy.
Can I use candy melts to coat marshmallows?
Yes, candy melts work well as well.
Can I freeze marshmallow pops?
You can make a large batch and freeze ahead of time. The springtime marshmallow pops freeze beautifully in an airtight freezer-friendly container. They can last up to 2 months.
Expert Tips, Springtime Marshmallow Pops.
Break the chocolate into petite-sized bits before melting the chocolate. This step makes the chocolate melt faster. If you are using the microwave, it reduces the risk of burning.
When using the double boiler method, ensure the chocolate does not come in contact with water.
Water affects the texture of the melted chocolate, as it becomes marshy and dry. You cannot coat the marshmallows with such.
I always use the double boiler method but microwaving the chocolate works perfectly as well. Microwave the chocolate in 3, 30 seconds bursts, stiring between each interval.
