It’s only a month until half-term and Halloween, which means it’s time for me to start planning our Annual Pumpkin Party. I had an idea for a no-bake pumpkin cake-pop after seeing my daughters toast marshmallows on our last camping trip, so I wanted to test it out. I’m very pleased with my pumpkin cake-pops, and the Girls even more, because they can help make them.
You need:
- marshmallows
- lollipop sticks
- orange candy melts, or melted white chocolate which has been coloured orange
- edible marker for detail
Once you have melted your candy melts according to the instructions, leave them in their bowl over a pan of steaming water. This will keep them melted whilst you work.
Taking your first lollipop stick, dip the end in the melted chocolate, then poke into a marshmallow.
Leave to firm up and repeat with your other marshmallows.
Once all your marshmallows have sticks, go back to the first and dip into the melted candies until covered. I actually found it easier to use the back of a spoon to cover the marshmallow.
Repeat with other marshmallow lollies and leave to dry: I found an upended strainer to be thr perfect thing to keep the sticks upright so that they dried evenly.
Once dry, add details with edible markers.
Serve to trick-or-treaters.

they look like a mummy Pumpkin Cake Pop. I love them.
Glad you like them Cake Lovers!
Fabulous idea! My cake pops always fall off the stick, so marshmallows are perfect.
Thanks for sharing on Kids Get Crafty.

Fabulous idea! thanks so much for sharing on Craft Schooling Sunday!
Fantastic idea – we will definitely be trying this out! x
we had such fun making them, although a lot of the candy melts got ‘tasted’!
This is a fantastic project! Would you consider linking this up at my Pinworthy Projects Party? I hope to see you there!
Wow! I need to try these with Emmy.
Intact I’m thinking great for handing out to the trick or treaters
What another ingenious idea!
I bet you wake up in the night with a start when you think these things up. x
hardly, Liz. They come to me randomly, usually at totally the wrong time of year
They are so sweet! And they look really simple to make too, lovely idea.
