The chocolate ghosts pictured above were made by James (12yrs) and Madison (10yrs) with their Aunt Shelly. We thank them for sending us a sample.
Chocolate covered Marshmellow Ghosts
These ghosts will disappear as fast as you can make them appear. This recipe is a good one to let the kids help. Just be careful the "little goblins" don't get your ghosts.
Ingredients:
- 1 pkg Regular sized Marshmallows
- Approx. 1.5 lbs. White Melting Chocolate (wafers or bars)
- Assorted small candy decorations for eyes (small candy cake decorations or candy eyes)
- One box of wooden toothpicks
- Wax paper
Instructions:
- Melt chocolate in a small double broiler or in microwave per instructions on chocolate.
- Place one marshmallow on it toothpick
- Dip marshmallows one at a time in melted chocolate, using toothpick to hold marshmallow.
- Place marshmallows on wax paper.
- Remove toothpicks while chocolate is still wet.
- While chocolate is still wet place candies on chocolate covered marshmallow to form eyes.
- Allow chocolate to dry before serving.
- Marshmallows can be stored in an airtight container
Another variation on this recipe is to tint the chocolate with food coloring. If you tint the food coloring with orange you can make faces on the marshmellows to make pumpkins. By using different colors of food coloring and candy decorations these can be adapted to many party themes.
