Ingredients
Marshmallows
Chocolate chips
Lollipop or popsicle sticks
Styrofoam
Decorating gel
Directions
- Stick marshmallows onto the lollipop sticks, and place in freezer for about 15 minutes until cold. While the marshmallows are chilling, slowly heat one cup of chocolate chips on a simmering heat in a double-boiler, stirring constantly until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Remove the marshmallows from the freezer and dip them lightly in the melted chocolate for a thin coating.
- To lend a mummy look to the marshmallows, swirl them so layers of white wrap around the confections.
- Dunk marshmallows to make a twisted peak on top for ghosts.
- To make other dunked marshmallows reminiscent of Frankenstein, smooth the chocolate with the flat part of a spoon.
- Use a block of Styrofoam in which to stick the marshmallow pops for cooling in the refrigerator.
- After the treats harden, add faces with decorating gel. Paint eyes and mouths directly on the marshmallow characters.
