Instructions

Prepare the Marshmallows (5 minutes):
Insert lollipop sticks or wooden skewers into each marshmallow. Make sure the stick goes about halfway through to ensure stability.
Melt the Chocolate (5 minutes):
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Dip the Marshmallows (10 minutes):
Dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help coat it evenly. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
Decorate (5 minutes):
While the chocolate is still wet, roll the dipped marshmallows in sprinkles, crushed nuts, or any other toppings of your choice. This step is optional but adds a festive touch and extra texture.
Set the Pops (30 minutes):
Place the chocolate-covered marshmallow pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Serve:
Once set, the chocolate-covered marshmallow pops are ready to be served. They can be displayed in a stand or laid out on a platter.
