Instructions

1. Prepare the Mold

Four circular silicone molds with floral patterns on a wooden surface.

The molds I used came in a set of four. I used the two rose molds. Lightly dust your rose-shaped silicone mold with powdered sugar or cornstarch. This prevents the chocolate from sticking and makes it easier to remove the roses once they have set. Shake out any excess.

2. Skewer the Marshmallows and Melt the Chocolate

A white container with pink candy melts, surrounded by marshmallows and silver candies on skewers, placed on a wooden surface.

Insert a toothpick into each marshmallow. I used small toothpicks for the small flowers and larger ones to make milk chocolate stirrers.

Melt the semi-sweet or milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% speed, or defrost for 1 minute. Stir and cook on defrost for 30-second increments until melted. (I used three additional 30-second increments.) Add a teaspoon of Crisco to thin. If using white chocolate for decorative details, melt it separately and add a few drops of gel food coloring to create a pink or red shade.

3. Dip the Marshmallows

Pink-coated cake pops drying on a stand, surrounded by marshmallows on toothpicks on a parchment-lined surface.

Dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before moving to the next step.

4. Place in the Mold

Pink dessert pops on skewers set in a silicone mold inside a refrigerator.

Carefully press the chocolate-coated marshmallow into the rose-shaped silicone mold so that the marshmallow sits snugly in the center. Use a spoon to add extra melted chocolate around and on top of the marshmallow to fill the mold if necessary.

5. Set the Chocolate

Place the mold in the freezer for 10–15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely.

6. Unmold the Roses

Assorted pink and white fondant decorations, including roses on sticks, with molds on a gray surface.

Once set, carefully remove the roses from the mold. The marshmallow inside will resemble the center of a blooming rose, giving the treat a realistic appearance.

7. Optional Decoration

Use melted white chocolate to drizzle over the roses for an extra special touch. You can also sprinkle edible glitter or dust them with powdered sugar for a romantic shimmer.

Serving Tip: Package these chocolate roses in a small gift box or arrange them on a plate as a stunning Valentine’s Day dessert centerpiece!
