Brownie Stuffed Swirled Marshmallow Pops
These tasty treats are made of brownie stuffed marshmallows swirled in white and pink candy melt. The swirled effect looks impressive but is very easy to do.
Start by hollowing out the center of the marshmallow, then stuff it with a chunk of brownie. Next, insert a cookie stick into the brownie.
To create the swirl design, pipe an asterisk design with pink candy melt into a bowl of melted white candy melt. Dip a marshmallow pop about halfway into the candy melt, then start twisting as you submerge the rest of it completely. As you pull the marshmallow stick back out, twist in the opposite direction to create the swirls. That’s it! It’s so fun!!
These pink and white marshmallow pops would be a perfect treat for Valentine’s Day, but they can be used for so much more! They are customizable and perfect for any occasion; just change the color scheme to suit the event.
They would be a big hit with anything kid-related: birthday parties, sleepovers, bake sales. How about special occasions such as gender reveal, weddings, and showers? What bride-to-be or mother-to-be wouldn’t like to have these sweet treats at their party? Let’s not forget game day and the holidays—customize the color to cheer your favorite team on or to suit the holiday theme.
Try these and have fun!

Recipe details
Ingredients
- 15 1/2-inch cubes of a fudgy brownie
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 15 regular size marshmallows
- 1 12-oz. bag white candy melts
- 1/2 cup pink candy melts
- 15 6-inch cookie sticks
Instructions
- Cut brownies into 1/2-inch cubes (you will need only 15). Shape brownies into 1/2-inch wide logs. If there is excessive crumbling, add a few drops of water to moisten while shaping.
- Apply oil to the tip of a butter knife. Insert the knife into the center of each marshmallow using a twisting motion to create a cavity. Reapply oil to the knife as necessary to prevent sticking.
- In a microwave proof bowl, melt the white candy melts for 1 minute at 50% power. Stir even if it does not look melted. Microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir well. It should be smooth and creamy. If not, microwave again for 20 seconds at 50% power. Repeat the 20 second microwave step as needed. Don’t overheat to prevent seizing.
- Use a greased fingertip to widen the center of the marshmallow if the cavity is too small. Dip a brownie into the candy melts. Insert brownie into the marshmallow. Dip a cookie stick tip into the white chocolate. Insert deep into the center of the marshmallow without going all the way through. Repeat until all the marshmallows are stuffed.
- In a microwave-proof bowl, melt the pink candy melts for 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir even if it does not look melted. Microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir well. Melt for 20 seconds at 50% power, if needed.
- Pour the pink candy melts into a plastic storage bag. Work the candy melts into one of the corners. Twist close and snip off a tiny slice off the tip. Pipe a pattern over the white chocolate (I use an asterisk pattern).
- Dip a marshmallow straight down into the candy melts, twisting once it is halfway submerged. Twist in the opposite direction while pulling it out. Stand marshmallow pop upright in a styrofoam block or a container filled with rice.
- Drizzle in more pink candy melts as needed and repeat dipping the remaining marshmallows.
- Candy melts will harden while sitting out at room temperature. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.

Tips
- Optional: scoop out a little dollop of white candy melts to use for dipping the tip of the brownie before you stuff the marshmallow. This prevents crumbs from mixing with the candy melts that will be used for swirling.
- If the cookie sticks are loose when swirling in candy melts, reapply the candy melts to the tip and chill the marshmallows for a few minutes to allow the candy melts to set quickly.
- If candy melts become too thick to swirl, microwave for a few seconds to soften. Repeat as needed.
- Shallow bowls make it more difficult to swirl the strawberries once the candy melts level gets low. It’s better to use a taller bowl with narrower sides, or one that is tapered at the bottom.

Is there a video? They are beautiful in the pictures, but a video would clarify a bit of confusion I have.
