HALLOWEEN CANDY RECIPES
CHOCOLATE COATED MARSHMALLOW MONSTERS
This is one
of our all time favorites for a really sweet treat! If you love marshmallows and white
chocolate, you'll be happy that we decided to try mixing them together!
What a hit they are with all our ghouls and
fiends!
INGREDIENTS
Marshmallows Chocolate Melts (*see
below for color choices) 4" sucker sticks Black decorating gel
PREPARATION
Stick marshmallows into a
4" lollipop sticks, and place them in the freezer for about 15 minutes, until they
are cold. While the marshmallows are chilling,
heat one cup of chocolate melts, we used white this time, slowly on a simmering heat
(Wilton's Candy Melts work great) 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 get a
Mummy look, swirl them a bit to look like layers of white wrapped around it. Ghosts should
be dunked to make a little twisted peak on top. Frankenstein can be dunked and a spoon
used to flatten the chocolate on top.
Use a block of Styrofoam to
stick them in to cool. If you stick them in the fridge it shouldn't take long for them to
set up. After
they harden, you can add faces. Using a small tube of black decorating gel, with a small
tip, carefully paint on two ghostly eyes onto the marshmallow. Add a little mouth as well.
STORAGE
& SERVING
Pick out the more mummy looking ones and turn them into the undead. You can stick these in sucker cellophane
wraps to keep or just stick in your refrigerator but we don't that they'll be around for
very long!
*Use green melts for
Frankenstein, Orange for Jack-O-Lanterns, white for Ghosts and Mummies. |
