  3. Dip marshmallows into melted chocolate to coat. Allow excess chocolate to drip away.

Notes

Tip
Candy melts and cake pop sticks are available from cake decorating suppliers and kitchenware stores.
Tip
Adding oil to the melted chocolate or candy thins it and makes it easier to dip.
Tip
A block of florist’s foam would be useful to stick the pops in and keep them upright while they set.
