marshmallow ghosts. and a mummy.


These are just about the easiest Halloween treat to create. (Very kid-friendly, but watch out for the sharp skewers with younger kids. You can also skewer the marshmallow to create a hole, then replace the skewer with a lollipop stick.)

All you need:

marshmallows
black gourmet writer
skewers and/or lollipop sticks

What to do:
Skewer the marshmallows and draw your faces. That's it!

TIP: So the writers don't get sucked into the marshmallow surface, let the marshmallows sit out at room temperature for a few hours to stiffen a bit on the outside.



And the mummy:
