Halloween Marshmallow Pops couldn’t be easier or more festive. Everyone’s going to want one the minute they get to your Halloween party!

We spent a lot of time at Cedar Point this summer. If you’re not familiar with Cedar Point, it’s an amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio that boasts 71 rides, including 17 roller coasters, kiddie lands, live shows, etc.
It’s also dubbed the Roller Coaster Capital of World, so if coasters are your thang, you probably want to add a visit to Cedar Point to your bucket list, pronto.
Elle fell in love with the place immediately, so we splurged and purchased season passes because we knew we’d get a lot of summer bang for our buck. It’s pretty much the perfect place to take your toddler when you’ve had enough of the water table and Elmo’s World.
She has been obsessed with widing wides (riding rides) since we stepped foot in Kiddie Kingdom.
Although Cedar Point has an amazing selection of rides, their food selection is kind of meh. Sure, there are stand outs like Cheese on a Stick – I mean it’s fried cheese on a stick, how could this possibly be a bad thing? And Salt Water Taffy – which is one of my favorite things on Earth, but other than that, nothing really screams amazing.
Wait… they have Oreo Funnel Cake Fries, so there’s that.
One day we decided to take a stroll through the candy shop to scope out the fresh taffy and I noticed a display of giant marshmallows covered in colorful candy and loads of sprinkles. This is the kind of amusement park food I could get behind.
Of course, I immediately snapped a photo because I knew I wanted to recreate them at home for Halloween.
These Halloween Marshmallow Pops are the perfect application for Campfire® Giant Roasters. They lend themselves perfectly to attaching all sorts of delicious candy, making this an easy treat to whip up for your Halloween party.
I love Giant Roasters anyway, because when it comes to s’mores, of the trifecta, marshmallows are the best part as far as I’m concerned. Especially with just a little char on the outside.
There’s no char here, but that’s okay, because there’s candy! Candy on top of candy. How could that go wrong?
And think of all the different ways you can make these pops festive for different holidays. They’d be exceptionally cute at Christmas time too.
As you may remember, I’m partnering with Emily from Jelly Toast and Campfire® Marshmallows. You’ll see more recipes from us, and even more exciting stuff as the year goes on.
We even created a Marshmallow Madness Pinterest board where we’ll pinning loads of delicious marshmallow recipes for the holidays. Just like this delicious Cranberry Fluff.

Love the look of these! I’ve been wanting to offer fresh caramel-dipped apples to trick-or-treaters and let them roll their apples in their topping of choice, but the logistics and challenges of working with caramel concern me. THIS looks like it would be a great alternative! How long does it take the melted-candy to set up? Would it be too long for impatient Littles to dip and candy their own? I wonder if I could use melted chocolate chips (and peanut butter and butterscotch chips) instead?
Hi Chris – I haven’t really timed it, so I can’t say for sure. I would definitely give it a try yourself first to see what you think. Good luck!

My candy melts look gray!!! Helppp
Hi Jess-
It’s going to depend on what brand you used. I typically find the Wilton brand stays pretty true to color.

Beautiful, fun treat! What really caught my eye was the Cedar point comment! LOL! My family complains about the same thing every year! Whoever decides on the food there needs to make a trip to New England for fried dough! Funnel cakes and Elephant ears – just can’t compete!!
Happy Halloween!!!
I totally agree, Leah! They really need to up their food game. I appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to comment. Have a great day!

How long do you think these will keep for?
Hi Heather – If you wrap them up individually, they should last for a few days. Make sure you wrap them up so that the marshmallows don’t dry out. Hope this helps! Happy baking.
-Jamie
QQ, Where do you buy candy melts?? Ive never heard of them before.
Hi Cheryl – You can buy candy melts at any store that sells cake or candy-making supplies, such as JoAnn’s, Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, etc. Hope this helps. Happy baking!
-Jamie
These are great, I have used lollipop sticks and just adjusted the candy melt colors and sprinkles to whatever holiday your making them for, valentine’s day, easter, christmas, etc.
If I make these tonight for a party tomorrow, will they need to be refrigerated?
I don’t think they would need to be refrigerated, Tifni. You can probably put them in an airtight container on your counter top for overnight. Let me know if I can answer anything else!
