Pumpkin Marshmallows

The other day the husband sent me the link to this wonderful Halloween site. I saw how she made these cute little pumpkin marshmallows and decided to try my hand at it.

Pumpkin Marshmallows

Ingredients:

Orange Candy Melts
Food Coloring Marker
Marshmallows
Sucker Sticks
Styrofoam

Directions:

Stick marshmallows onto 4" lollipop sticks, and place them in the freezer for about 15 minutes, until they are cold.

While the marshmallows are chilling, heat your desired amount of candy melts in the microwave. It takes about a minute or so. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.

Remove the marshmallows from the freezer and dip them lightly in the melted chocolate for a thin coating.

You can use the block of Styrofoam to stick them in to cool. Place in fridge to allow them to harden.

After they harden, you can add faces. Using a small tube of black decorating gel or a food coloring marker, carefully draw faces on the marshmallows.

You can use different color melts to make different monsters. Use white melts to make ghosts by dunking them to make a little twisted peak on top. Instead of ghosts, you can make a mummy by swirling the white around the marshmallow for more of a wrapped look. To make Frankenstein use green melts. Frankenstein can be dunked and a spoon used to flatten the top.

These are SO cute! I just smile and then pass out from all of the cuteness when I look at them. And they are super easy. I think they would be a great thing to make with kids.
