Lego Marshmallow Pops

My son recently celebrated his 4th birthday party at our local Lego Store and a supper at one of his favorite places.  We couldn’t go empty handed, so we brought treats and goodie bags for everyone.  We had a budget friendly Lego Birthday party, but I think the Lego marshmallow pops were one of everyone’s favorite treats (well, besides picking out legos at the Lego Store).

If you missed the first party post you have to go check out my Lego Party Ideas, including my adorable Lego Cupcakes…I shared some great ideas and super cute lego cupcakes that will please every lego (and cupcake) lover!

Aren’t these super cute?  I saw tons of different versions all over pinterest when I was planning our party several months ago, so these aren’t anything new.  But, I’m now a HUGE fan of marshmallow pops.  They are so easy to make, kids can make them, you can make them for just about any theme, and they are super cheap!

Lego Marshmallow Pops Tutorial

Supplies Needed:
Regular sized marshmallows
6in candy sticks
white (or yellow) candy melts or almond bark
yellow food coloring (opt)
black tube frosting
foam block or cardboard cake pop stand to hold marshmallow pops

Directions:
Insert a candy stick half way into each marshmallow.

Melt candy melts (or almond bark…candy melts work best though) according to package directions.  Add yellow coloring to achieve desired color.  I prefer to use white candy melts and add my own yellow color to control the shade of yellow and then I can use the white candy melts for whatever other project I want.

Dip marshmallows into melted candy and then place upright in the foam/pop holder to dry.  Once they are dry, use a spoon to add a little blob {yes, that’s the official term} of candy to the top of each dipped marshmallow.  Put back onto holder to dry.

Using black frosting with a tip 1 or 2 (or buy black decorating gel in a tube with a small tip opening), decorate each dipped marshmallow with a lego face.  Need inspiration? Do a google image search for lego faces and you will get a ton of great ideas for faces or just dig through your kids lego bin and find some.
