Ingredients
- 1 (18 oz) box of brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the package)
- 16 large marshmallows
- 1 (10 oz) bag of white melting wafers (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the brownies: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix package. Pour the batter into a greased 9×9 inch pan and bake as directed. Allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Cut into squares: Once cooled, cut the brownies into 16 squares. This will serve as the base for your ghostly figures.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Transfer the brownie squares onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about an inch of space between each square.
- Melt the white chocolate: Microwave the white melting wafers according to the package instructions. Stir until smooth and completely melted.
- Create the ghosts: Dip the flat side of each marshmallow into the melted white chocolate. Position the marshmallows upright in the center of each brownie square.
- Coat the marshmallows: Using a spoon, drizzle additional melted white chocolate over the marshmallows, allowing it to cascade down the sides of the brownies.
- Let set: Allow the brownies to sit until the white chocolate hardens completely, about 20-30 minutes.
- Prepare chocolate eyes: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 15-second intervals, stirring in between.
- Add faces: Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag and pipe two eyes and a mouth on each marshmallow.
- Final touches: Allow the chocolate faces to set on the marshmallows before serving.
Notes
Feel free to use different brands of melting wafers or substitute semisweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate for variations.
