What Are Marshmallow Pops?
These are fun desserts for kids! If you (or your kids) love eating Peeps, then you will love these chocolate-covered marshmallows. They are basically three marshmallows stacked on a stick and covered in chocolate and decorated with red, white, and blue colors.
Marshmallow pops are perfect for Labor Day, Memorial Day, or the Fourth of July.
Why You'll Love Red, White & Blue Marshmallow Pops
Even though I'm not a huge marshmallow fan, I found myself falling in love with these little patriotic goodies!
Maybe it is because it's on a stick? Or maybe it is because they are covered in one of my favorite substances on earth...chocolate?!
In fact, if you love these chocolate-covered marshmallows, you'll also enjoy making Red White and Blue Popsicles and some Red White and Blue Rolo Candy Treats. They all have the same fun red, white and blue colors.
