Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 large marshmallows (classic or jumbo size)
  • 12 medium fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced thin
  • 1 1/2 cups (9 oz) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 24 short lollipop sticks or wooden skewers
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted for drizzling (optional)
  • Sprinkles, colored sugar, or crushed freeze-dried strawberries for decoration (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set out marshmallows, strawberries, and lollipop sticks. Wash, hull, and slice strawberries about 1/4-inch thick. If marshmallows are sticky, dust lightly with powdered sugar.
  2. Push a stick or skewer halfway into each marshmallow. For double-layer pops, alternate marshmallow and strawberry slices on the stick (marshmallow, strawberry, marshmallow). Ensure everything is secure but not squished.
  3. Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler. If chocolate is too thick, add a bit more coconut oil.
  4. Hold each marshmallow pop by the stick and dip into melted chocolate, turning to coat. Let excess drip off. For a thicker shell, let the first coat set for 2–3 minutes in the fridge, then dip again.
  5. Quickly press a thin strawberry slice onto each chocolate-covered marshmallow before the shell sets. Drizzle with melted white chocolate or sprinkle with colored sugar, freeze-dried berries, or sprinkles as desired.
  6. Place finished pops on the lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes, or until chocolate is firm.
  7. Once set, remove from the fridge and arrange on a platter. Serve immediately or keep chilled until serving. Best enjoyed fresh, but can be kept at room temperature for a few hours.

Notes

For best results, use ripe, dry strawberries and good-quality chocolate. Chill pops between dips for a thicker shell. Work in batches to keep toppings from melting off. Pops can be made gluten-free or vegan with ingredient swaps. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Let kids help with decorating for a fun party activity.
