Calories: 112kcal
Ingredients
- 1 bag marshmallows
- 35 lollipop sticks
- 10 ounces dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon shortening
- ½ cup crushed candy canes about 20 mini candy canes
- ½ cup crushed Heath or Skor bars about 2 bars
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- 35 paper candy cups
Instructions
- Insert lollipop sticks deep into the marshmallows, taking care not to poke them through the other side.
- Place chocolate and shortening in a medium-sized microwave-proof bowl. Microwave on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth.
- Working with one marshmallow at a time, invert marshmallow and dip it into the chocolate until three-quarters of the marshmallow is coated. Tap the stick while holding the marshmallow over the bowl to get rid of excess chocolate.
- Immediately sprinkle the chocolate coating with candy cane pieces, Heath Bar pieces or shredded coconut.
- Poke the lollipop stick through a paper candy cup and push up to meet marshmallow. Poke the sticks into a piece of florist's styrofoam. Let the chocolate dry. Eat!
