Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag of large marshmallows: These serve as the base for your ghosts and give them their fluffy appearance. Choose fresh marshmallows for the best texture and taste.
- 1 cup of white chocolate chips: You’ll melt these to coat the marshmallows, creating a delicious, sweet exterior. You can also use white chocolate bars; just chop them into smaller pieces for melting.
- Edible black eyes: You can use candy eyes or mini chocolate chips for decorating the ghosts’ faces. These little details bring your ghosts to life!
- Black icing or chocolate (optional): For adding details like mouths or additional spooky expressions. Use a piping bag for precision, or a toothpick for fun designs.
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the ghosts from sticking and make cleanup easier. Having a clean and organized workspace makes the process smoother and more enjoyable.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat; it should be creamy and pourable. You can also melt the chocolate using a double boiler for a more controlled melting process.
- Dip the Marshmallows: Holding a marshmallow by the stick (or your fingers), dip it into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s completely coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off. A good trick is to gently twist the marshmallow as you lift it out of the chocolate for a smoother coating.
- Place on Parchment: Carefully place the coated marshmallow on the prepared baking sheet. Space them out so they don’t stick together while they set.
- Add Eyes: While the chocolate is still wet, place two edible eyes on each ghost. You can also use mini chocolate chips for this step. If you want a more expressive ghost, feel free to get creative with the placement!
- Create Mouths (Optional): If you’d like, use black icing or melted chocolate to add little mouths or additional facial features. Get creative—make them spooky or silly! You can even let the kids design their own ghost faces.
- Let Them Set: Allow the ghosts to sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens. This should take about 15-20 minutes. While you wait, it’s a great time to clean up your workspace and prepare for the next batch!
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, your adorable white chocolate ghosts are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them at your Halloween party, or package them up for a sweet gift. They make perfect treats for classroom parties, neighborhood gatherings, or even just a fun dessert at home.
