4th of July Marshmallow Pops

Happy 4th of July! The whole reason why I wanted to make homemade marshmallows was because I had seen a similar version on Pinterest. Melanie, from Whimsical Creations recently blogged about "Smores on a Stick"! That's when I knew that this would be the perfect opportunity to make my own homemade marshmallows, put them on a stick, and dip them in chocolate and sprinkles!

Well, I can definitely say it worked. However, I was in a rush and failed to put the chocolate dipped marshmallows on parchment paper to dry--so they dried directly on the plate. A big dummy move on my behalf, but that's how we live and learn. My husband was eventually able to get them off with a few seconds in the microwave and gently prying them off by using a fork! In any event--make sure you use parchment paper. These treats are delectable and you'll want to come back for more!
