Monster & Ghost Marshmallows

This past weekend, Dean requested to make these Monster and Ghost Marshmallows and since we had so much fun, I thought I’d share them with you. 

These Halloween Monster & Ghost Marshmallows are perfect for getting your little one in the spirit of Halloween. They’re super fun, easy and inexpensive to make. They would also make a great party favor if you’re entertaining any littles.  

You only need a few ingredients for this simple recipe, and if you’ve got a set or two of little helping hands, you’ll be able to whip up a batch of these goodies in no time.

Dean would have eaten all of them if he could have gotten away with it. It’s another one of my kid-tested and approved recipes! 

We used a candy melting pot to melt down our wafers and made our monsters using purple, orange and green sprinkles. I only covered half of the marshmallow in sprinkles to give them more character. To make the ghosts I covered the entire marshmallow in white sprinkles. Finally, I added these candy eyes to all of them using some white icing.

I tied a small piece of this ribbon to each marshmallow ribbon as a sweet extra detail. If you’re giving these as Halloween party favors, I would wrap each pop in cellophane and then tie them with ribbon to close.    

I hope you enjoy making and devouring these sweet Halloween Monster & Ghost Marshmallows as much as we did! If you have any favorite Halloween traditions, I would love to hear them. Just leave me a comment below!
