How to Make Halloween Marshmallow Pops | The Bearfoot BakerTo make marshmallow pops you need to begin with candy melts and a little bit of Crisco so the chocolate will melt smoothly. Liquid oil will work but the solid shortening seems to work better.
You can microwave the candy for 30 seconds at a time  until it is melted or you can melt it in a glass bowl sitting in a pot over a little bit of boiling water. Just be careful and don’t burn the chocolate or you will have to throw it away and start all over because unfortunately, once the chocolate is burned, you can’t save it.

How to Make Easy Halloween Marshmallow Pops | The Bearfoot BakerDip the end of a stick (if you use a stick from a tree, make sure it isn’t poisonous) in the melted chocolate and stick it in one end of the marshmallow. I like to insert it a little more than half way so it doesn’t fall off later. Set it aside and repeat with the other marshmallows.

Once the chocolate around the stick has dried, begin dipping the marshmallows into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to help cover the marshmallow completely. Add the eyes and nose and chocolate Jimmies or toasted coconut for the hair. Place it on a plate or stick the stick into a Styrofoam cake board to let it dry.
