These Halloween Monster Marshmallow Pops are fun to make and fun to eat! The whole family will enjoy being creative and making monsters together.
Don’t save this snack just for the little kids! Even the adults enjoy making and eating these Halloween Monster Marshmallow Pops!
I was going to just make them up but was running short on time so put things out for my husband and two 20-something sons to help me after dinner. I am so glad I did! We had so much fun!
These Halloween Monster Marshmallow Pops are a great family activity to make them together. They would also be fun for a Halloween party for the kids! Prepare bowls of different colors of the melted candy melts, bowls of different sprinkles and eyeballs and let them go! Younger kids would need some supervision but older kids wouldn’t need much or any. These are very easy to make!
The candy melts stay usable for a good long time too. I thought we would have to be remelting it but we didn’t. It stayed nice and soft for as long as we worked.

How to Store Halloween Monster Marshmallow Pops
Store in the refrigerator in a Ziploc bag or container with a lid.
Key Ingredients
(Full printable ingredients and instructions are just below.)
Candy melts in 2-4 colors of your choice
24 large marshmallows
Sprinkles—chocolate and/or multi colored
Candy eyeballs—large or small or a mix of both
Treat sticks—cut them in half if you want; you will need more than regular scissors.
How to Make Halloween Monster Marshmallow Pops
Melt the 12 ounce bags of candy melts about half a bag at a time in the microwave or double boiler on stove.
We did half a bag in a bowl for 50% power 1 minute, stir, another minute and then stir. It was just right. We also used 3 colors.
Cut the treat sticks in half if desired. They are not cheap and really not needed to be so long.
Insert the treat stick into a marshmallow and dip and swirl it into the desired color of candy melt.
Use a spoon to cover it thoroughly.
Dip into sprinkles for hair or even a beard, moustache or smile.
Add eyes as desired.
Put on parchment paper to harden. This does work fine but we did see that they were kind of flat headed when they were finished. My husband rigged up a simple drying rack if you would rather have them dry upside up. It is also great to display them in.
Tips and FAQ
To make a drying rack/display rack;
Get a cardboard box that is shorter than your treat sticks. You can use a utility knife to cut it the correct height if you need to do so.
Take an ice pick and poke holes about 1 ¾-2 inches apart. (I actually realized later to not put them directly in front of each other. Stagger them so you can see the ones in the back like they are in this picture.)
And here I pushed the front row through the second holes but didn’t push the back row through them so they stood on top of the inside box. That made them stand up taller so you could see them in the pictures.
You can simply use one box but to keep the sticks from sliding through and to help the pops to stand up straight, cut another layer of box shorter than the first that fits inside of the bigger box—like so. When you poke the holes through, also poke them a bit smaller.
(And always do your poking with a cutting board underneath so you don’t poke a hole in your dining room table or your hand.)

Please refer to the post for pictures of the drying rack if you would like to see it. I didn't include them in the printout to save space and ink.
