Main Ingredients

24 pieces regular size marshmallows
12 oz white candy melts or vanilla flavored almond bark Choose melts labeled for dipping for best results.
4 oz green candy melts Ensure the brand does not bleed into the base when set.
4 oz yellow candy melts
1 tsp vegetable oil Use if the melted coating seems too thick.

Decoration

to taste rainbow sprinkles Nonpareils or heat-resistant sugar confetti preferred.
to taste shamrock sprinkles
as needed treat sticks or bamboo skewers Use food-grade lollipop sticks or sturdy skewers.
as needed piping bags For drizzling the melts.

Preparation

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper and insert sticks through the center of each marshmallow.
Melt the white candy coating according to package directions, stirring frequently.

Coating

Dip or spoon the melted white candy over each marshmallow until covered and allow excess to drip back.
Melt the green and yellow candy melts separately and transfer each color into piping bags.

Decoration

Drizzle the green and yellow candy over the coated pops while the coating is still slightly tacky.
Add rainbow and shamrock sprinkles onto the warm drizzle.

Setting

Allow the pops to set at room temperature until fully firm, usually 20-30 minutes.

Store pops in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.
