2. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
3. Dip one end of a pretzel stick into the melted chocolate, then slide three mini marshmallows onto the stick. Ensure the marshmallows are also coated.
4. Use a fork or spoon to generously cover the marshmallow-coated pretzel with more white chocolate, creating that “skeleton” appearance.
5. Arrange the completed pops on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature, or refrigerate for quicker results.
7. Once set, make your skeletons come alive by drawing spooky faces with melted dark chocolate or an edible marker.
**Serving Suggestions
These pops make perfect party favors or can be arranged creatively on a dessert table. Pair them with other themed treats like candy corn or caramel apples for a full Halloween spread.
Pro Tips for Success
