By the time this part of summer rolls around, I’m usually up to my eyeballs in plans! I’m talking about pool parties, barbecues and summer vacations. Most summers I’m definitely crunched for time…in a good way.
This summer, however, has involved a whole lot of at home time. And, frankly, my family is going pretty stir crazy. That means I’ve been looking for ways to make staying home look a little more appealing!
Enter Christmas in July…
Like so many of you, I’m ready for some early holiday cheery! And since I know that someday we’ll be back to our hustle and bustle, I decided to share a quick holiday treat that you can make for now AND in December.
That’s right. Get ready for a true time-saving trick. Whipping up impressive, yet simple holiday treats should always be in our back pocket!
Now, like I mentioned, these holiday marshmallow pops are both festive and easy! I would call that a double win! They are perfect for Christmas in July or holiday parties. Hey, a girl can dream.
And they look so cute on a tray! You could even arrange them in small vase like a bouquet to serve as a holiday centerpiece!
The best thing about holiday marshmallow pops is that they are the perfect finger food. They aren’t messy and can easily be held while you’re gabbing away with your party guests…or your family. BWAH!
Seriously, they’re my kinda treat. So, let’s talk about how to make these adorable peppermint marshmallow pops. Did I mention candy canes are a primary ingredient? Mmmmm!
How to Make Chocolate Covered Marshmallows
Ingredients:
Large marshmallows
Chocolate chips (about a cup)
Festive paper straws
Candy canes
Directions:
- Place the marshmallows onto the paper straws.
- Crush the candy-canes into small bits. I like to use a plastic zipper bag and then place the bag in a dish towel and hammer the candy canes with a food mallet. This activity is perfect for unwinding at the end of a long work day, sorry not sorry, bwah! Set the candy cane pieces aside in a small bowl.
- In a small bowl microwave the chocolate chips, stirring every 30 seconds until they’re just melted.
- Dip the marshmallow about halfway into the chocolate and then immediately dip into the candy-cane pieces.
- Set them on a tray and let chocolate cool and harden.
- Enjoy!
Can you believe it is that easy to make these holiday marshmallow pops? Even the kids can do it and you don’t have to worry about any stove top incidents (eek!). Sticky fingers are a small price to pay for a happy loved ones.
I don’t mind getting messy one bit when I’m making these crowd pleasers! Now you have to excuse me while I go eat all of them before anyone wakes up and notices. Nomnomnom!
