- Silicone mat
- Double boiler (optional)
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Large pieces Marshmallows
- White Chocolate Chips (or white candy melts)
- Black Decorating Gel (or melted dark chocolate)
- Lollipop Sticks
- Optional: Halloween Sprinkles
Instructions
- Gently insert a lollipop stick into the bottom of each marshmallow. Make sure the stick is secure.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and completely melted. Be careful not to overheat! You can also use a double boiler.
- Dip each marshmallow into the melted white chocolate, coating it completely. Gently tap off any excess chocolate.
- If using sprinkles, immediately sprinkle them onto the dipped marshmallow before the chocolate sets.
- Place the dipped marshmallows on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a silicone mat.
- Once the chocolate is set (about 15-20 minutes), use the black decorating gel or melted dark chocolate to draw ghost faces on the marshmallows. Get creative with different expressions!
- Let the decorating gel set completely before serving. These spooky snacks are best enjoyed soon after making!
Notes
Substitutions: Use vegan white chocolate for a vegan option. Use melted dark chocolate or black food coloring mixed with a tiny bit of confectioners' sugar for the faces.
Pro Tips: Melt chocolate low and slow to avoid burning. For extra security, dip the stick end in melted chocolate before inserting into marshmallow. Refrigerate briefly if you need chocolate to set faster.
Variations: Use different colored candy melts for colorful ghosts, or add peppermint extract to white chocolate for a minty twist.
