Halloween Marshmallow Pumpkin Pops
Halloween Marshmallow Pumpkin Pops: These fun easy to make creepy pumpkin pops are covered with orange colored vanilla candy and dipped in crunchy orange sugar. The cute spider hanging from the leaf adds a touch of whimsy to this delicious Halloween Party Treat! They can also be used as yummy place card holders or party favors. I love handing out homemade goodies to the neighborhood kids (I usually hand deliver them) and this is one of their favorites.

Halloween Marshmallow Pumpkin Pops
A fun addition to any Halloween Party Table.
Ingredients
- regular size marshmallows
- green candy melts
- orange candy melts
- orange sugar sprinkles
Instructions
FOR THE CREEPY SPIDER TOPPER: Place a marshmallow on a flat surface covered with parchment or wax paper. Melt the green candy in a microwave safe bowl. Dip the tip (the opposite end from the leaf) of the dowel into the melted candy.
Press straight down in the center of the marshmallow (making sure you don't go through the bottom). Let the candy harden.
FOR THE MARSHMALLOW PUMPKIN POP: Melt the orange candy in a microwave safe bowl (about half a bag per 6). If candy is too thick add a tablespoon of shortening. Have another bowl available to catch the sprinkles. Dip the marshmallow into the melted candy. NOTE: I used a spoon to help with this process. Completely coat the marshmallow with the candy and with a spoon coat the marshmallow. Also use the spoon and drag down to make pumpkin like ridges. Add the orange colored sugar immediately while the candy is still wet. Set on the paper lined cookie sheet to harden. SEE PHOTOS IN POST.
