TGIF! Here's Halloween Treat Countdown No. 6 - Frankenstein Marshmallow Pops!

TGIF, the weekend is here!  Treat No. 6 is one of my favorites because not only are they super easy, but each one turns out a little unique so they really look custom made.  So here’s a great receipt for…

Frankenstein Marshmallow Pops!

List of Supplies:

Large Marshmallows
Green Candy Melts
Cocoa Candy Melts
Lollipop Sticks
Candy Eyes
Chocolate Sprinkles
Black Edible Marker
Styrofoam Block

Start by skewering the marshmallows with the lollipop sticks. You want to prepare all the marshmallows you will be using in advance. 

Next begin melting the green chocolate. Remember my past postings on how to properly microwave the chocolate without scorching. If you need it for reference visit: http://www.karamichelledesigns.blogspot.com/2013/09/have-case-of-mondays-check-out-this.html.

Once your green chocolate is melted, begin dipping each marshmallow and ensure the full base is covered.  Once you have ensure the chocolate won’t drip, push the stick into the Styrofoam block to properly hold.  Repeat this process for all marshmallows, and allow the green chocolate to dry completely.  This will take at least 45 minutes, depending on the humidity level in your kitchen. 

Once the green chocolate has hardened, begin melting the cocoa candy melts. While the cocoa is melting, pour the chocolate sprinkles into a small bowl. Once melted, carefully dip the tip of each marshmallow into the cocoa.  Only dip the very tip, which should be about a quarter way down.  Then dip the melted cocoa tip into the chocolate sprinkles and set back into the Styrofoam. Repeat this process for all marshmallows.

Next we are ready to begin placing the candy eyes. Use what melted cocoa you have left over as a “glue” to ensure the candy pieces stay into place. I found it helpful to use a new lollipop stick to apply the cocoa to the melted eye pieces.  This step is a little tedious, but take your time as the end result is worth it. Try to make each placing unique and un-uniform. 

Finally we are now ready to add the facial expressions using the edible marker. Begin with simple lines for the mouth expressions, a line for the forehead and get as creative as you wish!  Don’t forget to add those knobs on the sides of your Frankenstein’s’ head, that’s his trademark ;) 

 

Aren’t they adorable!? i can't take credit for this picture but it served as my inspiration. Follow me on instagram at #karamichelledesigns as I'll be uploading mine later this weekend!
