Candy cane marshmallow pops are the three-ingredient treat that makes a hot cocoa bar look like a party. A large marshmallow is pushed onto a candy cane, dipped in melted chocolate and rolled in crushed peppermint or sprinkles. Eat them like a lollipop or stir them into a mug of hot cocoa so the candy cane melts in.
