Ingredients

  • 12 Brownie Bites
  • 12 Marshmallows regular size
  • 10 oz White Melting Wafers
  • Black Decorating Gel

Instructions

  • Place about half of the melting wafers in a small ziplock bag. Microwave 30 seconds and knead the bag a big. Microwave 15-30 more seconds until completely melted. Snip a tiny corner off the bag.
  • Place 12 brownie bites on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Pipe a small amount of which candy out of the bag onto each brownie bite and top with a marshmallow.
  • Next you'll pipe on enough candy coating to cover each marshmallow. Start by piping on the top of the marshmallow in a circular motion.
  • Continue piping in a circular motion. The candy will begin to run down the sides of the marshmallow. Once candy is about halfway down the marshmallow, you can move on to the next one (the candy will continue to drip). Cover all the marshmallows, melting the rest of the candy wafers in a new bag when needed.
  • Place the ghosts in the fridge to set up - this should only take about 5 minutes. Then use black decorating gel to add two dots for eyes and another dot for a mouth if desire.
  • Store ghosts at room temperature. The candy coating keeps the marshmallow fresh so they are fine to sit out uncovered for about 24 hours. For longer storage, place in an airtight container.

Notes

Decorating gel is easy to work with and get a professional looking result. After a few hours it will set up so it shouldn't smear, but it will not get completely hard like chocolate does. If you don't want to use the gel, you can melt a few semi sweet chocolate chips in a small ziplock bag and use that to pipe on eyes and mouth.
