🔹 Prep and Assembly Time
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Decorating Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Servings: 12 marshmallow pops
🔹 Ingredients List
- 12 large marshmallows
- 12 lollipop sticks
- 1 cup green candy melts
- ½ cup chocolate chips or black candy melts (for hair)
- 24 candy eyes (2 per pop)
- Black decorating gel or edible marker (for scars and mouth)
- Mini chocolate chips or pretzel sticks (optional for bolts)
🔹 Instructions
1. Insert Sticks into Marshmallows
Push a lollipop stick into each marshmallow to create a pop base. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
2. Melt the Green Candy Coating
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt green candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly before dipping.
3. Dip and Set the Pops
Dip each marshmallow into the green coating, letting excess drip off. Stand upright on parchment paper or a Styrofoam block. Let harden at room temperature.
4. Add Frankenstein Hair
Melt chocolate chips or black candy melts, then dip the top of each pop into the chocolate to create “hair.” Let it drip slightly for a jagged effect.
5. Decorate the Face
While the coating is still soft, press on two candy eyes. Once fully set, use black decorating gel or an edible marker to draw on a stitched scar and mouth.
6. Optional Bolts
Insert mini chocolate chips or small broken pretzel sticks into the sides of the marshmallow to resemble Frankenstein’s bolts.
🔹 Suggested Add-ons or Toppings List
- Edible glitter for extra sparkle
