The 4th of July is the day that just always feels like summer to me. We usually enjoy the neighborhood parade and grill out. Making these American Flag Marshmallow Pops is a fun thing you can do together with your kids!

American Flag Marshmallow Pops are a fun Patriotic Kids Dessert that are easy to make together! Learn how to make these 4th of July marshmallow pops that are also great for Memorial Day.

Flag Marshmallow Pops

My kids love marshmallows and I love making cute food for holidays, so making marshmallow pops is something I’ve worked on the past few years. They’re so easy to make and you can really theme them to almost any special event!

Oddly enough, I think we first discovered marshmallow pops on a family vacation to Orlando about six years ago! Who knew something so simple could be so tasty!

For quite a while I only made chocolate dipped marshmallows using almond bark but once I realized how versatile they are, I broke out the candy melts! Check out how easy it is to make these cute marshmallow pops inspired by the American flag!

They’re great for the 4th of July and Memorial Day!

Ingredients to make American Flag marshmallow pops

How to Make Marshmallow Pops

1. Push 3 jumbo marshmallows onto the end of each lollipop stick.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 2 cups of blue candy melts on 50% power for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted. Take this step slowly so you don’t overcook them!

3. Dip the end of your marshmallow pop into the melted blue candy melts, making sure to cover the top marshmallow in the melted blue candy.

5. Shake any excess melted candy off and place onto a piece of parchment paper.

6. Sprinkle white candy pearls or sprinkles onto the melted blue candy melts. (If you can find white star-shaped sprinkles, they are perfect for these marshmallow pops!)

7. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 cups of red candy melts on 50% power for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.

8. Scoop the melted red candy in a decorating bag or sandwich bag and cut a small tip off the end.

7. Use the decorating bag to drizzle the red melted candy melts in stripes onto the 2 remaining marshmallows.
