rainbow marshmallow pops a sweet and tangy treat

Rainbow marshmallow pops a sweet and tangy treat for any time of the year.  Heck! who needs an excuse to eat rainbow-colored foods? Certainly not me. These colorful no-bake treats were served at my daughters’ rainbow unicorn party. The tangy treats are fast and easy to make. If the kids are old enough they can even help you make them. The kids loved the rainbow marshmallow pops. They were way to sour for me. But as long as the kids are happy that is all that counts!

• square marshmallows
• kool-aid packets in various flavors
• cake-pop sticks
• baggies
• plastic gloves (optional)
• cup for water
• covered work surface

Tips for making the pops:

• Do not make the pops to far in advance. Marshmallows tend to go stale quickly.
• You do not want to touch them with your fingers once you have coated them in the kool-aid powder.
• Do this on a covered work surface
• Plastic gloves are optional but recommended
• Have something to hold the marshmallow pops.  I made my own stand for the party using a wood slice purchased from a craft store. Tutorial for cake pop stand.

Instructions for making marshmallow pops:

1. Use a cup that is big enough to hold room temperature water.
2. Place the Kool-aid powder in individual baggies big enough to hold the square marshmallow
3. Place a marshmallow on the cake-pop stick and dip into the cup of water. Tap the stick gently on the side of the cup to remove excess water. You don’t want it dripping – just damp enough to hold the powder.
4. Dip the marshmallow into the baggie holding the powder.  Move the marshmallow around gently until all sides of the marshmallow are coated.
5. Place the marshmallow pops into a stand, in rainbow color order and serve.Be prepared for crazy colored tongues as a result of eating these tangy rainbow marshmallow pop treats.
