Ingredients
Marshmallow Structure
- Large marshmallows (3 per treat)
Coating & Decoration
- White chocolate, 1 cup (chopped or chips)
- Vegetable shortening, 1 tablespoon
- Powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons
- Black edible marker
- Candy eyes, 2 per marshmallow figure
Instructions
- Melt White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate and vegetable shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Assemble Marshmallow Body: Dip the bottom of a large marshmallow into the melted white chocolate and stick it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Stack two additional marshmallows on top, pressing slightly to form the Stay Puft Marshmallow man body shape.
- Coat and Decorate: Pour or brush the remaining melted white chocolate over the entire marshmallow structure, fully coating it. While the chocolate is still wet, place candy eyes on the upper marshmallow to create the face.
- Finishing Touches: Sprinkle powdered sugar over the chocolate coating before it sets to add texture and a snowy effect. Once the chocolate hardens, use a black edible marker to draw a smile and facial features on the marshmallow figure.
Notes
- Use short bursts in the microwave to prevent white chocolate from burning.
- Vegetable shortening helps to thin the chocolate for easier coating and faster setting.
- Ensure marshmallows are firmly stacked so the figure is stable when coated.
- Allow chocolate to completely harden before handling for best results.
- This recipe is great for kid-friendly parties but supervise younger children with edible markers and candy eyes.
