Make Flower Marshmallow Lollipops







Marshmallows come in a variety of shapes and colors.


Marshmallow lollipops are a delicious, simple-to-make candy treat that can be customized for any occasion. Marshmallow lollipops are simply large marshmallows placed on lollipop sticks, then dipped in melted chocolate or iced with icing. To make flower marshmallow lollipops, use icing to attach smaller, colored marshmallows along the edges of your larger marshmallow to create the appearance of flower petals. You can even dot the center of your large marshmallow with pastel colored icing for the pistil (center) of the flower.


Instructions


1. Roll and squish the large white marshmallows to take them from a cylindrical shape to more of a round shape. Flatten out the smaller marshmallows with your thumb to create the shape of flower petals.








2. Place the large marshmallows onto the lollipop sticks. Keep the sticks with marshmallows in a tall cup if you're making the entire batch at once.


3. Place a small dab of royal icing on the bottom of a small marshmallow petal, and affix it to the perimeter of the large marshmallow.


4. Continue affixing small marshmallow petals around the entire perimeter of the large marshmallow.


5. Dot the center of the marshmallow flower with pastel colored icing.


6. Place the finished marshmallow lollipops in a tall glass, and put them in the freezer for 3 to 4 minutes until the icing has hardened.
