Nutty Marshmallow Pops

En Español

Every year around this time we make a bonfire to roast marshmallows, but this year it has been raining almost every evening and we have not gotten a chance to get those marshmallows in a skewer to roast. Three days ago I came up with this idea to make chocolate covered marshmallow pops. It was the perfect treat since it is no bake and I was able to use the wooden skewers and marshmallows.

These tastes slightly like charleston chew and are delicious! They make a great party table or valentine treat, so check it out!
