As the mother of two small children I’m not remotely ashamed to admit that I spend half my life in Starbucks, caffeine is after all the main part of my healthy balanced diet. The other day in there The Toddler decided that their marshmallow pops were exactly what he needed in his life right now. Now, I’m all in favor of an easy life (especially when it means I get to drink coffee) so I didn’t mind getting tapped up, however I did wonder if I could make these myself at home and shock horror they are super easy. I’m quite happy to munch on these myself but obviously you are welcome to feed them to your kids and I think they would look great at a childrens birthday party.
How to make Marshmallow Pops: You will need…
Marshmallows, sprinkles, cocktail sticks (do be careful if you are giving these to small kids, I know I don’t really need to tell you that but no one likes a lawsuit, eh?), warm water.
What to do: Dip your marshmallow in some warm water until you can feel the texture start to change. Roll it around in some sprinkles and stick the cocktail stick into one end.
Ta-da! All done. This is so easy your kids could easily do it themselves and it makes a nice change from fairy cakes!
That’s lovely.. 🙂 Pinning it!
Thank you x
these look brilliant, and easy too – perfect for a birthday party they could even make them themselves! xx
Brilliant i will give this a go with my kids perfect for party food. I’ve pinned to my cooking with kids board
Aww, thanks 🙂 Yeah I think kids would love to make these!

They look great and so easy!! Going to do these for big’ns 3rd birthday party! X
A really cute idea for older children to make on their own and enjoy (including me!)
Such a simple but great idea. Thank you for sharing!
Love these, we di[p them in melted chocolate too.
Great idea – so simple for the kids to do as well, in fact the twins’ school were making these in Late Stay after school last Thursday!
What a fab idea for the kids to make! I love marshmallows too 🙂 x
They look so pretty! Sadly marshmallows aren’t veggie, but I did manage to make some marshmallow rice krispie cakes that were veggie friendly by using that fluff stuff- yummy!
Can you be my mummy? PLEASE?
Coffee is part of my five a day too 😉 These loos tasty and my little one LOVES his marshmallows so these would go down a treat. x
Arguably it makes up four of my five a day….
I officially love you. I am going to make these for Baby’s party x
Ha ha ha! I hope they go well! 😀 x
Don’t they look so pretty! My youngest loves roasting marshmallows over the gas hob as a treat. I wonder how these would turn out over a bit of heat? I’m sure he’d love to try.
These are wonderful Kate, be great to make with the three year old too. Thank you for sharing. Do suddenly have an urge for cooked marshmallows too – yum yum!
How amazing is that! So simple but yet so effective! Thank you for sharing.
Ohh they sound delicious – I think we have everything we might need to make them as well yum! x
This looks like a fun easter treat to keep them occupied!
Love these and the girls will love making them so I’m pinning this post! I think we’ll do as another poster said and dip them in melted chocolate because you know, it’s melted chocolate on marshmallow with sprinkles….what could be better?!
