Marshmallow Pops (with Nerds)

It sounds like a an interesting combination, marshmallows, chocolate, gummy lifesavers, and nerds, but my kids request these just about every year for their birthdays.  I have found these marshmallow pops to be the perfect treat to bring to my kids classrooms on their birthdays.  One bag of marshmallows makes about 50 pops, and after making them a few times, I can whip out a batch in about an hour.  They are always a huge hit and my kids are thrilled to pass them out to all of their friends.  They are easy enough to create, that you can involve your children in the process, which makes it all the more fun!

For 50 pops you will need one bag of Kraft Jet-Puffed marshmallows, 50 lollipop sticks, 2 bags of Wilton’s chocolate candy melts (I have used both dark cocoa and light cocoa), 2 packages of  LifeSavers Gummies, 3 (movie candy sized) boxes of rainbow Nerds candy, and wax paper. Check back soon for my video tutorial on how to make these tasty little treats and be sure to make a few extra to keep at home.   Take my word for it, you may end up liking them just as much as your kids do! IMG_7152
