How to make the Turkey Marshmallow Pops

Arrange 4 candy corn in a fan shape with the points down on a wax paper lined tray (see image for reference)
Cut the straws in half or if you prefer use lollipop sticks. Insert the straws or sticks into the marshmallows, about ¾ of the way in.

Meanwhile, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl or using a double boiler on the stove. Stir until smooth and the correct consistency
Remove the marshmallows from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate. Be sure to cover the entire marshmallow. Gently tap off any excess chocolate.
Place on top of the candy corn. (see image for reference)

Recipe notes and tips:
While the recipe is straightforward, it is always nice to have a few different tips and suggestions to make things easier. So here are some of the recipe notes and tips to help you out:
- If you want to avoid using a microwave, you can melt the chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat. Just be sure to stir often so that the chocolate doesn’t burn.
- You can also use any type of chocolate that you like for this recipe. I usually use milk chocolate, but dark chocolate would work just as well.
- If you’re having trouble getting the candy corn to stick, you can always use a bit of melted chocolate as “glue”. Just put a small amount on the back of the candy corn and press it into place.
- These pops can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Variations to try:
Like with many recipes there will always be variations to try. Here are a few suggestions.
- Try using white chocolate instead of milk chocolate, you can use food coloring to make the turkey color or try an orange food coloring and decorate with choc chips
- Add some festive sprinkles to the pops after dipping them in chocolate. I would use fall mix sprinkles
- Use different colored candy corn to make fun and festive pops.
- If you want a bit more of a challenge, you can try making different shaped marshmallow pops. I’ve made everything from ghosts to pumpkins!
