How long will Marshmallow Pops Last?
- Marshmallow pops should be eaten within a few days. If the room is not hot, it’s ok to store marshmallow pops, in an airtight container at room temperature. If you live in a hot climate, you might want to store them in the fridge.
How long can you store Chocolate that has been melted in the refrigerator?
- Chocolate covered treats can be stored in the fridge, but only for a day or two. Eventually the chocolate will react to the cold and start to speckle or will sweat from the cold and crack.

Fun and Easy Football Marshmallow Pops
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 12 –15 1x
Ingredients
- Brown Chocolate Melts (Milk Chocolate) – 1 (12 oz.) bag
- White Chocole Melts – about 1/2 cup
- Candy Squeeze Tube
- Regular Sized Marshmallows
- Black and White Striped Paper Straws
- Shaved Coconut (about 1 cup)
- Liquid Green Food Coloring
- 1 tsp. of water
Additional Equipment:
- wax paper
- 2 glass microwavable proof bowls – small
Instructions
- Cut 6 paper straws in half
- Push the straws into 12 marshmallows
- Set out a large piece of wax paper for marshmallows to dry on
- In a small bowl, mix a few drops of food coloring with 1/2 tsp. of water and add coconunt shavings
- Stir to coat with green color – set aside
- In a small glass microwavable proof bowl, add the chocolate melting wafers
- Use the bag’s instructions or, do what I do – I like to put them in the microwave for 1 minute and stir until smooth. Add 30 more seconds in the microwave (if needed)
- Dip and roll the marshmallows into the brown melted chocolate
- Push each marshmallow with melted chocolate into the coconut shavings and press down so coconut sticks to the bottom
- Set on wax paper to dry
- Once dry, melt the white chocolate melts
- Place melted chocolate into the squeeze tube
- Use melted white chocolate and squeeze tube to draw laces on each football
- Let dry
Notes
- If you have leftover melted brown chocolate, then keep going with the football pops – Maybe you can squeeze a few more pops out of the chocolate that you have
- If your squeeze bottle chocolate hardens up, place it into a bowl of steaming water. The heat from the hot water should help it melt again. Better yet, have a hot bowl of water nearby to place the squeeze bottle in periodically – to keep the chocolate melted.
