Step 1: Prepare Marshmallow Bases
Grab your marshmallows and lollipop sticks. Carefully push each stick into the center of a marshmallow, making sure it’s secure and stands upright without wobbling.
Step 2: Create White Candy Coating
Melt white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short 30-second intervals, stirring between each burst until the mixture becomes completely smooth and glossy.
Step 3: Dip Marshmallow Bottoms
Dunk the bottom half of each marshmallow into the melted white candy. Gently tap off excess coating and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
Step 4: Add Bunny Ear Details
Melt pink candy melts in a separate bowl. Dip the top portion of each marshmallow at an angle to create adorable bunny ear shapes.
Allow the pink coating to drip slightly for a natural look.
Step 5: Design Cute Bunny Tail
Attach two small mini marshmallows to the bottom of each pop using a tiny dab of pink candy melts as glue.
Step 6: Add Magical Sparkle
Sprinkle edible glitter or colorful sugar sprinkles over the bunny pops for extra whimsy and charm.
Step 7: Let Pops Set Completely
Allow the marshmallow bunny pops to rest at room temperature until the candy coating hardens completely.
This ensures a perfect, smooth finish.
