Candy Coating. Switch out the candy color to make these for any season or holiday. They are so much fun to make for Christmas and more.

Straw. Instead of lollipop sticks, use a festive straw instead.

Tips for Easy Halloween Marshmallows:

Melt the candy increments. It is important to melt the candy in 20-second increments. This will prevent burning or cooking it too long as microwaves vary.
Wrap individually in cellophane. Hand these out for gifts and party favors. Wrap them in cellophane and tie with ribbon.
Remove excess candy melts. When you dip marshmallows, remove any excess candy melts or excess chocolate.

Storage:

Store the leftovers in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 1 week. Separate the layers with parchment paper.

We do not suggest storing in the refrigerator as it will create moisture and make the decorations run.

Display for parties in a mason jar if desired.
