Chocolate Marshmallow Lollipop Project

By Bob Sherman

Edna from our sales department left this project idea in my in box so all I can take credit for on this one is the writing and photography. They are very fast and simple to make and will be a delight for marshmallow lovers.

Most of the items you may need can be ordered directly from this page for your convenience.

PLEASE NOTE!! - Although chocolate making is relatively safe for the entire family to participate, adult supervision is required.

Chocolate
I prefer to use chocolate wafers designed for home molding chocolate. My preferred brand is Merckens which works well with all chocolate molding projects, is available in a wide selection of colors, and tastes great.

Melting Chocolate
Either melting method may be used, but you need to melt a fairly large amount so I find the double boiler more convenient.

Double Boiler - See Double Boiler Usage Instructions.

A microwave may also be used but care must be taken not to overheat the chocolate.

Place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl.
Heat for 30 seconds.
Remove and stir.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the chocolate is creamy.
Optimum pouring temperature is about 90 degrees F. Note: Pouring chocolate molds hotter than 160 degrees F. will destroy the mold. Do not place the thermometer in the microwave!

Chocolate Making Supplies And Materials

The following chocolate making supplies and other materials were used to make this project. Clicking on the item name will bring you to that item's page with a full description and ordering information.

Item	Amount Used
Chocolate Coating	Milk chocolate was used here, but these also taste good with dark chocolate.
8 Inch Lolly Sticks	One for each.
Toppings (optional) Toasted Coconut Malted Milk Crunch Non-Pareils Edible Confetti	One or more of your choice. These are just a few suggestions, just about any popular chocolate topping will work with these.
Thermometer	One.
Double Boiler	For melting chocolate.
Marshmallows	Three needed per lolly. From the super market.

Step By Step Instructions


1. Gather your materials.	2. Push three marshmallows onto each lolly stick.

3. Melt your chocolate and bring it to 90 degrees F. Spoon chocolate over the marshmallows and rotate slowly until it stops dripping.	4. Roll or sprinkle on your topping of choice. Note that non-pareils and edible confetti are best sprinkled on while other toppings work best when rolled on. Place the completed lolly on wax paper to cool.
	Note For Large Quantities In step 3, dipping is a viable option if you are making many of these. The main disadvantage to dipping is you will need to melt much more chocolate and will have a lot left over unless you need to make several dozen of these.
5. An assortment of finished marshmallow lollys.
