Tips that Are Worth Your Attention!

  • Use one color of candy melts: If you prefer, stick to one color for your candy melts.
  • Use small bowls for dipping: Choose small, deep bowls to make sure there’s enough depth to dip the marshmallows.
  • Be prepared: Have everything ready before melting the candy, as it hardens quickly. If it does harden, just microwave it for 30 seconds and stir before dipping again.
  • Sticks or straws: Straws work just as well as cake pop sticks to hold the marshmallows. You can also make the marshmallow monsters without any sticks or straws if you prefer.
  • Smaller marshmallows: You can use smaller (but not mini) marshmallows, though you’ll need to make more monsters with the same amount of candy melts.
