Ingredients for Vodka Marshmallow Pops

Here’s what you’ll need to bring these pops to life:

• 1 cup vodka: Use plain vodka or experiment with flavored options like vanilla, citrus, or berry.
• Large marshmallows: The fluffier, the better!
• Melted chocolate: Pick your favorite—white, milk, or dark chocolate all work.
• Sprinkles or toppings (optional): Add some festive flair with rainbow sprinkles, crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or edible glitter.
• Popsicle sticks or skewers: For that classic “pop” presentation.

Tools You’ll Need

• A shallow dish for soaking the marshmallows in vodka.
• Parchment paper to prevent sticking.
• Small bowls for melted chocolate and toppings.
• Popsicle sticks or skewers.

How to Make Vodka Marshmallow Pops

Step 1: Soak the Marshmallows

Place your marshmallows in a shallow dish and pour vodka over them, ensuring they’re submerged. Let them soak for 10–15 minutes, but don’t leave them too long—they might start to dissolve!

Step 2: Dry the Marshmallows

Carefully remove the marshmallows from the vodka and pat them dry with paper towels. This step ensures the chocolate will stick properly.

Step 3: Insert the Sticks

Push a popsicle stick or skewer into each marshmallow. You’re already halfway there!

Step 4: Dip in Chocolate

Melt your chocolate in a microwave or using a double boiler. Once melted, dip each marshmallow into the chocolate, ensuring an even coating.

Step 5: Decorate

Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle your marshmallows with your chosen toppings. Let your creativity shine!

Step 6: Let Them Set

Place the chocolate-dipped marshmallows on parchment paper and allow the chocolate to harden. You can speed this up by placing them in the fridge for a few minutes.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Your Vodka Marshmallow Pops are ready to impress. Cheers!

Tips for the Perfect Vodka Marshmallow Pops

• Don’t Oversoak: Soaking for too long can make the marshmallows too soft to handle. Stick to 10–15 minutes.
• Dry Thoroughly: Patting the marshmallows dry ensures the chocolate adheres properly.
• Choose Quality Chocolate: High-quality chocolate melts better and gives a smoother finish.
• Keep Them Cool: Serve them fresh or keep them refrigerated until ready to serve to prevent the chocolate from melting.

Variations and Substitutions

• Different Vodka Flavors: Try whipped cream vodka for extra sweetness or a fruit-flavored vodka for a summery twist.
• Alternative Toppings: Crushed cookies, toffee bits, or even a drizzle of caramel can take these pops to the next level.
• Non-Alcoholic Version: Skip the vodka and use flavored syrup or juice for a kid-friendly version.

What to Serve with Vodka Marshmallow Pops

• Pair with a boozy hot chocolate bar for winter parties.
• Serve alongside a dessert platter with brownies, cookies, and fruit.
• Add them to a cocktail station for a whimsical garnish option.

How to Store Vodka Marshmallow Pops

These pops are best enjoyed the day they’re made, but you can store leftovers:

• In the Fridge: Keep them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Avoid Freezing: Marshmallows don’t freeze well and can become sticky when thawed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?

Can I use mini marshmallows?

You can, but they’ll be trickier to handle. If you try it, use toothpicks instead of popsicle sticks.
