Equipment

  • 24 lollipop sticks, wooden skewers, or straws (see post for details)
  • Empty Egg Cartons (see post for details)
  • 72 Regular Toothpicks (see post for details)

Ingredients

  • 72 large marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup blue sanding sugar
  • 1/2 cup red sanding sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sanding sugar
  • water

Instructions

  • Set up a work station. For every colour of sugar you wish you use for your pops, you will need a bowl. Keep each colour of sugar separate at all times. You will also need a small glass of water.
  • Next, you will need to prepare the empty egg cartons. Flip them upside down and poke a hole into the bottom of each egg holder. A metal grilling skewer worked perfectly!
  • Using regular toothpicks, push the toothpick into one marshmallow. Dip the marshmallow into the glass of water. Don’t let it soak; just quickly in and quickly out! Tap the toothpick against the rim of the glass several times to knock off any excess water.
  • Then, use a spoon to spoon the sugar over the entire surface of the marshmallow.
  • Poke the toothpick into one of the pre-poked holes in the egg carton and allow the marshmallow to dry. 
  • Continue until all marshmallows are coated with the coloured sugar of your choice.
  • Allow the marshmallows to dry for 2 hours.
  • Once dry, working with one marshmallow at a time, remove and discard the toothpick and place the marshmallow onto the lollipop stick. Rather than pushing down on the top of the marshmallow, hold the marshmallow from the side and pull it down onto the stick.
  • Skewer on as many marshmallows as you like.
  • You may enjoy them right away, or wrap them individually in cellophane or plastic wrap.
  • Marshmallow Pops will last for 7 days in a food-safe container of your countertop.
