Halloween Marshmallow Pops
These Halloween Marshmallow Pops are made with store-bought marshmallows shaped like pumpkins, ghosts, and googly eyeballs—stacked on a stick, wrapped in festive cellophane, and tied up with a bow.
Get ready for a frightfully fun (and fabulously easy!) Halloween treat that’s perfect for parties, trick-or-treaters, or classroom goodies!
When I spotted these fun-shaped Halloween Marshmallow treats at Wallmart last year, I knew instantly that they would make a fun treat for the kiddos! I first used them in my yummy Air-Fryer Smore’s Dip. They are a quick and fun way to make a holiday dish more festive.
With just a few bags of festive store-bought marshmallows shaped like pumpkins, ghosts, and eyeballs, you can whip up this adorable Halloween goodie in minutes. Stacked on a stick, wrapped in cellophane, and finished with a festive bow, they’re a playful mix of cute and creepy that kids (and grown-ups!) will love.
Let’s get creative friends!
Ingredients and Items Needed
- Three 2.45 ounce packages of different Halloween shaped marshmallows. Each package should have 12 marshmallows. (I like the ones from Wallmart because they are individually wrapped and stay fresh.)
- 12–6″ bamboo skewers – I ordered mine from Amazon
- 3″ x 11″ inch Cellophane bags
- Fall Ribbon
How to Make Halloween Pops
This really is such an easy treat to make, and honestly doesn’t need much in the way of instructions. I’m really just sharing some tips that I’ve found work best when making this fun treat.
Call all your helpers because this is a treat that even the kids can help with.
Begin by unwrapping the individual marshmallows.
Place the point of each skewer at the center bottom of each marshmallow. Carefully slide the skewer up through the center of each marshmallow.
TIP: The marshmallows will stick slightly as you slide them up the skewer. If you spray them with non-stick cooking spray, it will make it easier for them to slide up the sticks.
I recommend placing the orange pumpkin in the center of each marshmallow pop. This helps break up the white of the ghost and eyeballs. (This is not a sentence I ever thought I’d be using. Lol)
TIP: Be sure the pointed end of the skewer is up so that the “flat end” is the handle that the kiddos hold on to.
When you add the last marshmallow, do not push it all the way through. You don’t want the point to poke through the packaging.
Packaging Marshmallow Pops
Once you have all the pops made, they need to be packaged properly so they don’t dry out. Dried out marshmallows aren’t good! Friends…we are making “Treats”…not “Tricks”!
I like to use a 3″ x 11″ cello treat bag even though they are a tad long. It’s easy enough to cut the ends.
Slide each Halloween Marshmallow Pop inside the sleeve of each bag. Twist and tie with a cute Fall 1/4″ inch ribbon.
Boo-tiful, bite-sized, and oh-so-easy to make—these Halloween Marshmallow Pops are the perfect no-fuss treat for your spooky celebrations!
