Sweet Marshmallow Pops
What it is
These are soft, airy marshmallows shaped into fun, bite-sized pops. They are typically made with sugar, corn syrup, and gelatin, giving them their signature chewy texture. Often coated in a sweet candy shell or decorated with colorful sprinkles, these treats offer a delightful sugary experience. They are a simple yet satisfying confection, perfect for celebrations or as a quick indulgence. The airy interior contrasts with a firmer outer layer, creating a pleasing mouthfeel.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their freshness and soft texture, store any remaining marshmallow pops in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or excessive heat, as this can cause them to melt or become sticky. Keep them away from moisture to prevent the coating from becoming soft.
