Ingredients
Scale
Marshmallow Ghosts
- 300 g fondant
- 10 marshmallows
- 20 mini chocolate chips
- 10 standard chocolate chips
- White chocolate (amount as needed for melting)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients needed for the treat. If you prefer homemade fondant, prepare it beforehand following a trusted recipe.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt white chocolate in a small bowl. Keep the bowl warm by placing it over a pot or bowl of hot water to prevent the chocolate from hardening during assembly.
- Prepare Fondant Cutouts: Roll out the fondant to about 2mm to 3mm thickness. Use a medium-sized round cutter to cut out circles matching the marshmallow size.
- Assemble Ghost Base: Apply a small amount of melted white chocolate to the center of each fondant circle. Place one marshmallow on this spot to stick it in place.
- Shape Fondant Around Marshmallow: Turn the fondant and marshmallow over carefully. Adjust and frill the edges of the fondant so it fully covers the marshmallow and creates a ghostly frilled effect.
- Add Eyes: Using a skewer or toothpick, apply two small dots of white chocolate on each marshmallow’s sides for the eyes. Quickly place two mini chocolate chips on these dots before the chocolate sets.
- Add Mouth: Repeat the process for the mouth, using the larger standard chocolate chips attached with white chocolate dots.
- Repeat Assembly: Continue the same steps for all marshmallow ghosts until complete.
- Store: Keep the finished marshmallow ghosts in an airtight container away from humidity to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Keep the white chocolate warmed during assembly by placing the bowl in hot water. Replace the water as it cools to prevent the chocolate from hardening prematurely.
- Choose white chocolate over dark or milk chocolate to maintain the aesthetic of white fondant and marshmallows, especially if fondant is rolled thinly.
- Select a cutter size that closely matches the marshmallow diameter plus twice its height to properly cover the marshmallow without excess fondant.
