Easy Red, White and Blue Patriotic Star Marshmallow Pops


Aren’t they fun? I was initially  going to make some red and some blue. I quickly changed my plan when I stared down at both colored sugars. I really like the way you can see all three colors. This way they are each an individual red, white and blue treat.

  • Start off by laying out some wax paper to avoid a sticky mess
  • Grab your cookie cutter and press it into as many marshmallows as you think you’ll want for star pops
  • push the paper straws into the middle (sticky part) of the marshmallow stars and set them back down on the wax paper

  • When you’re ready to start decorating, put another piece of wax paper on the counter
  • press the marshmallow into a cup of water – turning it over to coat both dry sides with water
  • Then press the “wet with water” sides into the sugar crystals coating the marshmallow with the sugar crystals
  • set the coated marshmallow pops onto the wax paper sheet to dry – It will probably take about 30 minutes to 1 hour for the wet sugar to dry. You could even play it safe and let them dry longer. If you try to the marshmallows in a bouquet before they dry, the color might rub off onto each one and you’ll end up with purple stars
  • When they are dry, place them in a container to serve – I used a mason jar filled with rice to hold the straws
  • or – place them in a covered container at room temperature for up to a couple of days before your party

And that’s it! See…so easy and so much fun!
