Octopus Marshmallow Pops Recipe

My boys love when I make this marshmallow and melted chocolate dessert. It always makes them smile, no matter how told they are! I make this for fun weekends at home but the choice is up to you.
How long does it take for the chocolate to dry?
I would wait about 15 minutes or so for it to be set up fully. You can easily tell by looking at it if it’s dry or not. Melted candy doesn’t take a long time to dry. Just be certain to give it space on the wax paper so that the air gets all around it to dry it quickly.

How do you store marshmallow pops?
As long as you keep them in an airtight container in the fridge, they should stay fine for several days. Keeping the air away from them is the key.
