Ingredients
- – Green candy melts (8.5 oz/240g)
- – Marshmallows (7 oz/200g)
- – Small pretzel rods (5.3 oz/150g)
- – Semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz/170g)
- – Candy eyeballs (1.8 oz/50g)
- – Edible red and black markers
- – Toothpicks; lollipop sticks or colorful straws
Instructions
- Warm the green candy melts using a microwave or double boiler, following the package instructions, until they are completely liquefied.
- Insert the lollipop sticks into the marshmallows, then immerse the marshmallows into the melted candy, rotating them to ensure full coverage. Stand the marshmallows upright in a glass filled with uncooked rice or oatmeal and place the glass in the refrigerator until the candy coating is set and firm, approximately 5 minutes.
- Heat the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until they are smooth. Dip the tops of each candy-coated marshmallow into the chocolate to create the appearance of hair, and with a toothpick, pull the chocolate down toward the base of the marshmallow to form hair spikes. Return the marshmallows to the refrigerator until the chocolate has solidified, around 5 minutes.
- Snap the ends off the pretzel rods to create small (approximately 1/8-inch) “bolts” for Frankenstein’s neck. Gently insert one piece of pretzel into each side of the marshmallow about one-third of the way from the bottom.
- Using a toothpick and the leftover melted chocolate, apply two small dabs of chocolate onto each marshmallow and attach the candy eyeballs.
- With the black edible marker, sketch a mouth, and then with the red edible marker, add a scar on Frankenstein’s forehead. Savor the marshmallow pops right away or keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use semisweet chocolate chips to create a rich and creamy coating for the marshmallow pops.
- Get imaginative with edible markers to give Frankenstein’s face a unique mouth and scar.
- Carefully insert pretzel rods to form sturdy “bolts” for a fun and eerie neck detail.
