Ingredients
- 12 LARGE Marshmallows "campfire size"
- 1 cup black candy melts
- 1 cup orange candy melts
- 2 Tablespoons shortening
- Halloween sprinkles
- 12 Popsicle sticks straws, or wooden skewers
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the marshmallows to dry on.
- Place 1 cup of candy melts plus 1 Tablespoon shortening in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat for 25 seconds, stir and then reheat. Continue until the candy melts are completely smooth and liquid.
- Dip half of a marshmallow into the melted candy and allow excess candy to drip off.
- Sprinkle on your choice of sprinkles, and set to dry on your prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with 5 more marshmallows in the same candy color, then repeat with the remaining 6 marshmallows in the other candy melt color.
Notes
- Don't Rush the Drying Time: Patience is key when making these marshmallow treats. Allow enough time for the candy coating to dry completely before serving or packaging them. Attempting to serve or package them too soon could result in a mess.
- Use Quality Sprinkles: Not all sprinkles are created equal. Higher quality sprinkles will not bleed their color onto your candy coating and will hold their shape better.
- Customize Your Color Scheme: While black and orange are traditional Halloween colors, don't be afraid to get creative with your color choices. Green or purple sprinkles could be fun alternative options or even a spooky white!
- Keep it Clean: Candy melts can be messy. Keep a clean, damp cloth nearby to clean up any drips or spills quickly.
