Skittles marshmallows on a stick: Ground skittles coat marshmallows for flavorful, rainbow unicorn food!
Skittles marshmallows
You know how I pulverized a whole bunch of Skittles that Wrigley sent me to make homemade Pixie Sticks from straws? Well, I had tons left over, so naturally I had to turn to marshmallows and lollipop sticks. Because it’s necessary to coat candy with more candy. And thus: Skittles marshmallow pops. The perfect rainbow and/or unicorn food.
If you like these, you can also make rainbow marshmallows with sprinkles. You can also make them dipped in vodka.
how to make Skittles marshmallows
To make Skittles-coated marshmallow pops…. First, separate and grind your Skittles (find those instructions for grinding Skittles HERE). Then skewer a marshmallow, dip in a bowl of water, dab the marshmallow on a paper towel, hold the marshmallow over a bowl and sprinkle the ground Skittles over the marshmallow to generously coat. Prop in a Styrofoam block and let dry. Serve your flavorful Skittles marshmallows at a rainbow party or unicorn party.

I’ve made Skittles Vodka and loved it, do you think I could dip the marshmallow in Vodka rather than water (for the adults lol).
great idea by the way!

Yes. Yes I do. I think that would be genius!!

tried it with vodka, think i need to leave them in a little longer, also how do you crush the skittles to get a fine powder, as i struggled 🙂
meaghanmountford says
Midi, I used a coffee grinder. It worked like a charm. I was surprised how fine it got the Skittles, given the chewy insides. After grinding a LOT (way more than I needed), the grinder started collecting the Skittles and it got stickier and stickier. I should’ve stuck with just a smaller batch.

Brilliant. How far in advance could these be made and still be tasty?
Thanks!!

Hi Vanessa, kept in a sealed container, I’d not go more than a few days, though these didn’t last long. But Skittles and marshmallows each independently last awhile, so maybe they’d go even longer!
