Ghost Marshmallows

This is a fun treat to let the kids help with. They can spoon out the chocolate and even help with the chocolate eyes.

Or, make them yourself as a fun party or after school treat.

How Long Will Chocolate Covered Marshmallows Last?

• Chocolate covered marshmallows that are sitting on the counter at room temperature should last at least one week. A word of caution: If there is a large fluctuation in temperature, chocolate tends to get a little discolored.

How Should I Store Chocolate Covered Marshmallows?

• Store chocolate covered marshmallows at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or longer

How far ahead can I make chocolate covered marshmallows?

• Chocolate covered marshmallows are easily made 1 week in advance. However, be careful to store them at room temperature. The moisture and cold air will discolor the chocolate.

Easy to make Ghost Marshmallows for a fun Halloween treat.

• Author: Melissa

Ingredients

• Marshmallows – large but not jumbo
• White Melting Chocolate or bark
• Mini chocolate chips

Other Equipment:

• Wax Paper
• Spoon
• Glass microwave proof bowl

Instructions

• Melt chocolate melts in the microwave – I like to place the melts into a bowl and microwave for 1 minute then stir until smooth. Add 10 – 30 more seconds if needed
• Place marshmallows sitting upright and spaced out on wax paper
• Spoon white melted chocolate over the top of each marshmallow and let the chocolate start to harden (you may have to coax it to drizzle down the sides)
• After the chocolate has cooled off, but before it is completely hard (still soft and a little melted) push the 2 mini chocolate chips into the ghosts (push them in – flat side out)

Notes

Store chocolate marshmallows on the counter for up to 2 weeks – you can use an airtight container, but it’s not necessary
