Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate chips, divided
- 12 marshmallows
- 24 small pretzels
- 24 candy eyes
- 12 cinnamon red hot candies
- Equipment: 12 lollipop sticks; pastry bag (optional)
Instructions
- Add 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave them in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until they're melted.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Skewer a marshmallow on each lollipop stick then dip it into the melted chocolate so it's thoroughly covered. Shake off any excess then place each marshmallow pop on the baking sheet. Once the chocolate has hardened, melt the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and transfer it to a pastry bag or sealable plastic bag.
- Pipe chocolate onto the back of each marshmallow then attach two pretzels to form the antlers. Next, pipe two chocolate dots and attach the candy eyes, followed by piping a final chocolate dot in the center and attaching the cinnamon red hot nose. Repeat the decorating process with the remaining marshmallows. (See Kelly's Note.)
- Allow the pops to sit until fully hardened then serve.
- Kelly's Note: The easiest and fastest way to get the chocolate to dry and harden is to refrigerate the marshmallow pops between each decorative addition.
PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe
This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
