Yield: 12
Calories: 106cal

Equipment
- tall cylinder filled with candy or rice to hold pops in while drying an alternative would be a Styrofoam block for holding pops
- small glass microwavable proof bowl
- *optional bowl of water for sugar crystals
- 12 paper straws or popsicles sticks
Materials
- 4 oz. blocks of chocolate almond bark
- 12 regular sized marshmallows

Instructions
- insert popsicle sticks into the center of the marshmallows
- melt chocolate by microwaving it for one minute and stirring, add 30 seconds if needed and stir until smooth
- dip marshmallow only about 1/4 of the way down the marshmallow
- place in container to dry
- *the chocolate will drip down and dry as it drips - drying time will depend on the temperature of your house - if it is humid the chocolate will not dry quickly
Decorating:
- you should decorate each marshmallow immediately after dipping it
- while chocolate is still wet add sprinkles or a candy to the top
- *sprinkles may drip down with the chocolate, but that will only make it prettier
Sugar crystal decorating:
- dip marshmallow into water and roll it into the sugar crystals to decorate
Notes
- Keep at room temperature for up to 3 days
- you can use marshmallow pop bags to keep them extra fresh, but it is not necessary
