Ingredients
- Popsicle sticks
- Marshmallows
- Green, black & white candymelts (or white and dark cooking chocolate)
- Flavourless oil (sunflower, vegetable, extra light olive oil)
Method
- 1. Push popsicle sticks into the bottom of your marshmallows. Set aside.
- 2. Melt a handful of green candymelts following the instructions on the packaging. (We melted in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, just until melted). Once melted stir in about ½ tsp oil to loosen the mixture so that it’s easy to dip with. Add a little more oil if needed. (If using white chocolate, melt in the same way and colour with green gel colouring, loosen with oil if needed.)
- 3. Dip marshmallows in the green candymelts, tapping the popsicle stick against the bowl so that the excess drips off.
- 4. Stand dipped marshmallows in glasses or mugs, being careful not to let them touch, and leave to set.
- 5. Once the green shell is hard, melt a small handful of black candymelt buttons as instructed and stir in a few drops of oil to loosen. (If using dark cooking chocolate, simply melt and add oil if needed.) Spoon about 2-3 tsp into a small piping bag or in one of the corners of a freezer bag. Set aside.
- 6. Finally, melt some plain white candymelt buttons as above, with a few drops of oil to loosen (or white cooking chocolate with oil if needed.) Spoon into a small piping bag or in one of the corners of a freezer bag. Set aside.
- 7. Dip just the top of the marshmallows in the black / dark cooking chocolate, tapping off any excess. Snip off the very tip of the bag with the white and pipe two white dots onto each marshmallow for the eyes.
- 8. Going back to the first marshmallow (once the white has set), snip off the very tip of the bag with black / dark chocolate and pipe a zigzag on the “forehead” for spiky hair. Pipe two little dots on the white dots for pupils, and you can also decorate with little scars on the cheeks.
- 9. Leave to set then enjoy!
- 10. Store in a sealed container at room temperature.
