Reindeer Marshmallow Pops for a fun Christmas Treat. Marshmallows dipped in chocolate and paired with candy can antlers make the perfect party treat for Christmas.
Reindeer Marshmallow Pops
Last night the family hung out on the couch watching Fred Claus. I watched from the kitchen and surprised the kids with these. I am so tickled at how these turned out. As a matter of fact, when it was time for the kids to eat them…I winced a little. I had become attached to the cute reindeer in my kitchen. Here’s what I did to make these cuties.

Let’s make sure you have everything you need for these fun Christmas pops…
Ingredients
- Marshmallows – Large “not giant”
- Chocolate Candy Melts – brown
- Red M&Ms or red Sixlets
- Candy Eyes
- Mini Candy Canes
- Lollipop Sticks
How to Make Cut Out Cookies for Christmas
- You’ll want to take the candy canes out of the bag and get them ready for the marshmallows
- For each marshmallow pop, I placed two facing each other forming a heart, and set them out on the wax paper
- Prepare your marshmallows by pushing the lollipop sticks into them
- Use a large glass microwave-proof bowl to melt your chocolate melts – You can use the package directions
- I like to heat mine for 1 minute, stir, and add 30 more seconds – or until the chocolate when stirred is smooth
- Dip the marshmallows into the chocolate and place it onto the ready-made antlers – look under the marshmallow to make sure the chocolate is gluing the candy canes to the marshmallow – if not nestle it in more to give the candy some more glue
- Add your red M&M to the top of the marshmallow
- Once the chocolate has hardened – it should only take a few minutes to use a toothpick to dip it into the melted chocolate
- Once you have a little chocolate on the toothpick, dot the marshmallow with the melted chocolate (right where your eyes will go) and place the candy eyes onto the melted dots
- This will only take a few seconds to glue
Merry Christmas!
