These adorable cherry blossom marshmallow pops are the ideal balance of floral and sweet flavors. These are a beautiful springtime treat for any occasion, in addition to being delicious.
Ingredients: 4 cups of mini marshmallows. 1/4 cup of butter. 6 cups of crispy rice cereal. 1 cup of cherry blossom petals washed and dried. 1 cup of white chocolate chips. 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Pink food coloring optional. Wooden popsicle sticks.
Instructions: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the crispy rice cereal. Mix well to combine. Quickly fold in the cherry blossom petals while the mixture is still warm. If you want a pink tint, add a few drops of pink food coloring and mix until desired color is achieved. Using greased hands, shape the mixture into small balls or popsicles around the wooden sticks. Place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to set. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Dip each marshmallow pop into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the coated pops back on the parchment paper and let them cool until the chocolate hardens. Once the white chocolate has set, you can drizzle more melted white chocolate over the pops for decoration, if desired. Let the cherry blossom marshmallow pops cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
