How to Make Monster Pops for Halloween or a Monster Party
For each color of chocolate, Pour the chocolate melts into a glass microwave-proof bowl
Microwave on high for one minute.
Stir the melting chocolate until smooth
If needed, place the chocolates back into the microwave for 30 more seconds and then stir until smooth.
Set wax paper out on your work surface
Place paper straws into the center of the marshmallows
Using the straw dip the marshmallow into the chocolate and turn it until coated
Pull the marshmallow up to the side of the bowl, and tap excess chocolate off of the marshmallow
Set the marshmallow on the wax paper
Let the chocolate dry halfway – It will still be melted, but it will have started firming up.
Place eyeballs onto the marshmallows. They might start sliding down the marshmallow if the chocolate is too warm. Give it a little more time to set up and try again.
If it hardens too much, then use a toothpick to dab melted chocolate onto the eyeballs and use that as glue
Once the chocolate has hardened, use a toothpick to spread melted chocolate onto the top of the marshmallow
Place the cotton candy hair on top of it
Expert Tips
