Marshmallow Pops By Kelly Miller • February27,2015 • Updated January 4, 2022 • 3 Comments 436 Jump to Recipe Marshmallow Pops made with jumbo marshmallows on popsicle sticks, dipped in melted chocolate and sprinkles! The perfect treat for any party or holiday! Silas has been OBSESSED with the release of the Big Hero 6 Blu Ray for months now. He was really begging us to take us to the movies when it was out, but you know what? I’m too cheap. Ha! You know what I mean – for the four of us to go to the movies, get snacks, the whole nine yards – I’d need to dip into their college savings. Not gonna happen! So I pretty much couldn’t wait to tell him that they were releasing it on DVD on February 24th. February 24th just so happens to be his 6th birthday. Coincidence? I think not. 😀 So of course, while he was at school I ran out to Target to pick it up. We had such a fun time celebrating his birthday the weekend before, but I was SO excited to celebrate with a special movie night at home. I was thinking of turning all the lights out in the living room to make it feel like a movie theater, bringing down some blankets and pillows and cuddling up together for a peaceful night enjoying the movie. All went according to my plan… until the first superhero action scene appeared. Off go the blankets, and there they go running around the living room, through the kitchen and dining room, and around and around again. Only to be repeated during the next action scene. And the next. Sigh. So much for a peaceful night at home with the boys! Thank goodness I at least thought of the PERFECT treat to go with out Big Hero 6 movie night. These Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Pops were easy, yummy, and reminded all of us of the movie’s hilarious character Baymax. Before I had even seen the movie, I thought he looked like a giant marshmallow and the main character, Hiro actually says it, too! I let the boys sprinkle theirs with their favorite “superhero” colors: red, blue, and green. And then Wesley discovered the spring colored sprinkles in the cabinet and we had to use those, too. Feel free to use chopped nuts or even crushed cookies instead of the sprinkles!

These pops are not only perfect for a Big Hero 6 movie night at home, but any holiday or party! Just change out the sprinkles to match the occasion – you could even wrap them in cellophane and colored ribbon to give away. I’m thinking Easter baskets! Ok, is there anything cuter than chubby toddler fingers? I was actually surprised at how chunky baby-like they still look. Especially when all the rest of him is not so baby-like anymore. 🙂 We had a wonderful movie night at home together, despite my whiplash watching my little superheros run around just like Big Hero 6, and I have to say – I fell in love with this movie! It had a great message about revenge and even brought a tear to my eye a few times. I highly recommend it for your family!

David @ Spicedblog says March 2, 2015 at 6:51 pm We love having movie nights around here! We've had a ton of snow in the northeast lately…and that makes for some great movie nights by the fire. We haven't seen Big hero 6 yet, so we'll have to grab a copy soon…and the ingredients for these marshmallow pops, too! #client Reply
