Description

Create spooky and colorful Meanie Marshmallows on the March! This fun, festive treat involves spraying marshmallows with vibrant food color sprays, assembling them into quirky characters with melted candy melts, and decorating them with expressive facial features. Perfect for Halloween parties or themed celebrations, these marshmallow pops are as delightful to make as they are to eat.

Ingredients

Marshmallows

  • Large marshmallows, assorted colors or plain white

Food Color Spray

  • Blue Color Mist® Food Color Spray, 1.5 oz.
  • Orange Color Mist® Food Color Spray, 1.5 oz.
  • Green Color Mist® Food Color Spray, 1.5 oz.

Candy Melts

  • Black Candy Melts® Candy, 10 oz.

    • Additional Tools

    • Lollipop sticks or toothpicks
    • Disposable decorating bag
    • Parchment paper
    • Craft foam block

Instructions

  1. Spray marshmallows: Insert a toothpick into the bottom of each marshmallow to hold it securely while spraying. Lightly spray each marshmallow evenly with blue, orange, and green Color Mist® food color sprays. Then, place the marshmallows on a parchment-covered cake board, remove the toothpicks, and spray the bottom of each marshmallow. Allow the sprayed marshmallows to dry for 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. Assemble marshmallows: Melt the black Candy Melts® candy in a disposable decorating bag according to package directions and cut a small point off the bag tip for piping. Insert a lollipop stick into the bottom of a blue marshmallow, leaving about 4 inches of the stick exposed. Cover the top and slightly over the sides of the blue marshmallow with melted candy to create “hair.” Slide an orange marshmallow down onto the stick beneath the blue one. Pipe a small dot of melted candy onto the orange marshmallow’s surface and position a green marshmallow on top. Cover the top green marshmallow with melted candy “hair” allowing the candy to drip over the sides to create texture. Insert the assembled marshmallow pops into a craft foam block and chill until firm, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Decorate marshmallows: Using the remaining melted black candy in the decorating bag, pipe outlines for eyebrows and a mouth onto the marshmallows. Use small dots to create eyes and teeth details. Chill the decorated marshmallows again for 3 to 5 minutes until the candy is fully set and firm. Your Meanie Marshmallows on the March are ready to serve!

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
  • Be sure to chill the treats sufficiently to let the melted candy firm up and hold the marshmallows together.
  • Handle the marshmallows gently once sprayed to avoid smudging the color.
  • For safety and ease, use food-safe toothpicks or lollipop sticks when assembling.
  • These treats are best served the same day made for optimum freshness.
