Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 300 g fondant
- 10 marshmallows
- 20 mini chocolate chips
- 10 standard chocolate chips
- White chocolate (quantity as needed for melting and assembling)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients including fondant, marshmallows, mini and standard chocolate chips, and white chocolate. If you are making fondant from scratch, prepare it beforehand.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate in a small bowl. Keep it warm by placing that bowl over a pot of hot water or in another bowl filled with hot water to prevent it from hardening as you assemble the ghosts.
- Roll Fondant: Roll out the fondant to about 2mm to 3mm thickness. Use a medium-sized round cutter to cut fondant circles.
- Attach Marshmallow: Apply some melted white chocolate in the center of each fondant circle then place one marshmallow on the chocolate in the center.
- Shape Ghosts: Flip the marshmallow and fondant over. Adjust and fringe the edges of the fondant so it fully covers the marshmallow and has a ghostly frilly appearance.
- Add Eyes: Use a skewer or toothpick to put two small dots of white chocolate on the marshmallow sides as eyes. Quickly attach two mini chocolate chips before the chocolate sets.
- Add Mouth: Use the same method to add a mouth by applying melted chocolate and attaching one standard chocolate chip.
- Repeat: Repeat the assembly process for remaining marshmallows to create the full batch of marshmallow ghosts.
- Store: Place completed marshmallow ghosts in an airtight container and store them away from humidity until serving.
Notes
- Keep the melted white chocolate warm by placing the bowl in a tray or larger bowl filled with hot water to prevent it from hardening while assembling. Refresh the hot water as needed.
- White chocolate is recommended because dark or milk chocolate contrasts too much with the white fondant and marshmallows. Thinner fondant cutouts may reveal the chocolate underneath.
- Select a cutter size where the diameter equals the diameter of the marshmallow plus twice its height to ensure full coverage with minimal excess fondant.
