How to Make Ghost Milk Cups
Get some fluff – Dip a spoon into the marshmallow fluff so it sticks to the back of the spoon.
Smear the ghost shape – Press the spoon against the inside of the clear cup and pull downward to smear the fluff into a wispy, pointed ghost shape.
Repeat if desired – Add a few more smears around the cup to create multiple ghosts.
Draw the faces – Use a black Sharpie to draw ghost faces on the outside of the cup, lining them up with the fluff shapes inside.
Add the milk – Slowly pour chocolate milk into the cup, aiming away from the fluff so the ghost shapes stay visible.
Finish it off – Top with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a fun straw for a festive Halloween drink.
Expert Tips
I’ve seen some people make the ghost by pulling the fluff upward. I think the best way is to push it downward so the point is at the bottom, making the wispy ghost tail at the end.
Pour milk into the bottom of the cup, avoiding the fluff ghosts. If you pour onto the ghosts, the fluff will melt away.
Variations
Colorful Milk – Dye regular milk orange, purple, or green for colorful ghost milks.

What to Serve With
Well, it goes without saying that cookies are the best side to milk, but brownies are a close second. Check out some of my Halloween cookies – like spider web cookies, eyeball cookies, and mummy Oreos.
Or brownie desserts like this Haunted Forest Brownie, Hocus Pocus Brownies, or Owl Brownies.
