Directions:
STICK marshmallows into a 4" lollipop sticks, and place them in the freezer for about 15 minutes, until they are cold.
WHILE the marshmallows are chilling, heat one cup of chocolate melts, I used white this time, slowly on a simmering heat (Wilton's Candy Melts work great) in a double-boiler, stirring constantly until the chocolate is completely melted.
REMOVE the marshmallows from the freezer and dip them lightly in the melted chocolate for a thin coating. To get a Mummy look, swirl them a bit to look like layers of white wrapped around it. Ghosts should be dunked to make a little twisted peak on top. Frankenstein can be dunked and a spoon used to flatten the chocolate on top.
USE a block of Styrofoam to stick them in to cool. If you stick them in the fridge it shouldn't take long for them to set up.
AFTER they harden, you can add faces. Using a small tube of black decorating gel, with a small tip, carefully paint on two ghostly eyes onto the marshmallow. Add a little mouth as well.
PICK out the more mummy looking ones and turn them into the undead, like the picture below, last one on the right. You can stick these in sucker cellophane wraps to keep or just stick in your refrigerator but I don't that they'll be around for very long!!
KITCHENS TIPS:
Use green melts for Frankenstein, Orange for Jack-O-Lanterns, white for ghosts and mummies.
