DYI: Apple Marshmallow Pops

Send your kids away to school with these pretty treats!

These apple marshmallow pops are sure to make everyone smile ;)




You need:

10 lollipop sticks
1 bag of red candy melts (white chocolate)
green colored fondant
mini pretzels
marshmallows
red sugar crystals
What to do:

1. Insert a lollipop stick into the marshmallow {to make lollipops}

2. Make mini green leafs using the green fondant. Make 10 tiny bowls (about 1/4 inc each), then roll each of them with the same lollipop stick and mold into a leaf shape with your own hands. Trace a leaf pattern with a toothpick.


3. Cut the mini pretzels into tiny sticks

4. Place the candy melts into a microwave safe bowl and melt for 1minute or less. Cover each marshmallow pop with the melted candy melt. Immediately coat it with red sugar crystals.


5. Add a pretzel stick and a mini leaf on top with a little pressure to make sure they are touching the melting chocolate that will help them stay in place. Set aside on a wax paper for about 20 minutes.

So cute...I feel like trying this in apple green next time :D

Enjoy!!
