What’s better than a bunch of mischievous monsters? Monsters made of marshmallows on a stick, of course! Because, let’s face it, everything is more fun when it’s on a stick!
These Monster Marshmallow Kabobs are a festive and frightfully fun Halloween treat the whole family can create together. All you need are marshmallows and a few inexpensive decorating supplies to craft your very own marshmallow monster mash.
Monster marshmallow kabobs
• Marshmallows (regular or jumbo for extra spookiness)
• Bamboo skewers, lollipop sticks or straws (for little goblins, opt for straws or lollipop sticks for safety)
• Assorted decorating supplies: gelatin powder, colored sugars, candy melts, candy eyeballs, edible markers and melted chocolate
Line cookie sheets with wax paper to keep things tidy.
Gather small bowls and fill them with your spooky decorating materials.
Now, let’s create your creepy creatures!
Here’s how we created our spooky squad:
— Frankenstein’s Monster: Coat marshmallow with green candy melts. Press mini chocolate chips or chocolate sprinkles on top while the coating is tacky for “hair.” Add candy eyeballs, then use a toothpick dipped in melted chocolate to draw stitches, eyebrows and a ghoulish grin.
— Pumpkin Faces: Dip marshmallows in orange gelatin powder, then use a toothpick dipped in chocolate to draw jack-o’-lantern faces. Add green candies on top for stems.
— Mummies: Dip marshmallows in white sugar, then drizzle with white candy melts for “bandages.” Attach candy eyes using melted chocolate.
— Ghosts: Coat marshmallows with white candy melts, letting the excess pool at the bottom to form a ghostly shape. Once hardened, use a toothpick and chocolate to create spooky faces.
— Googly Monsters: Roll marshmallows in green sugar, then attach three candy eyes and draw silly monster faces with melted chocolate.
— Bloodshot Eyeballs: Use red food coloring or an edible marker to draw bloodshot squiggles on marshmallows. Top with a candy eyeball for extra spook factor
Whether you’re hosting a Halloween bash or just adding a little spooky fun to snack time, these Monster Marshmallow Kabobs are sure to be a hit. Get creative, make memories and enjoy every sweet bite! Happy haunting!
