The last few days I have begun making goodies for our upcoming Halloween party. I must admit that I was considering making some cake pops this afternoon, but decided that I wanted something that required minimal effort. Candy Corn Marshmallow Pops turned out to be just the thing. They were pretty simple to make and turned out sooo stinkin' cute... If I might say so myself!

Instructions
Poke a lollipop stick into the bottom of each marshmallow.
Melt orange candy melts along with 1 – 2 tablespoons of shortening. Dip each marshmallow 2/3 of the way up into the orange. Place each pop onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and cool in refrigerator for about 20 minutes, or until hardened.
Melt 1/2 bag of yellow candy melts, along with 1 tablespoon shortening. Dip each pop into the yellow, about 1/3 way up. Place onto parchment lined cookie sheet and allow to cool completely in refrigerator.
Once the marshmallow pops are completely hardened, either serve on a platter or wrap individually with clear plastic treat bags and ribbon.
