Ingredients

Large marshmallows
White chocolate
Vegetable shortening
Powdered sugar
Black edible marker
Candy eyes

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the white chocolate with a small amount of vegetable shortening in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth and glossy.
Step 2: Dip each large marshmallow into the melted white chocolate, coating it completely. Allow excess to drip off and place marshmallows on parchment paper.
Step 3: While the chocolate is still wet, lightly dust or sprinkle powdered sugar over the marshmallows to create a soft matte finish.
Step 4: Gently press candy eyes onto each marshmallow to create faces.
Step 5: Once the coating is set, use the black edible marker to draw additional facial details and features to mimic the Stay Puft character.
Step 6: Let the marshmallows dry completely before serving or packaging.

Tips & Variations

Use a toothpick dipped in melted chocolate for more precise decorating instead of an edible marker.
Try mini marshmallows for bite-sized versions perfect for cocktail garnishes or cupcakes.
Substitute candy eyes with small dots of chocolate or icing if preferred.

Storage

Store your decorated marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Avoid refrigerating as moisture can cause the coating to soften. To refresh the coating’s crispness, allow them to sit at room temperature before serving.

FAQs

Can I use different types of chocolate?

Yes, white compound chocolate works best for coating and setting quickly, but you can use white baking chocolate or candy melts. Just be sure to add a little vegetable shortening if the chocolate is too thick.

How do I prevent marshmallows from sticking?

Dipping marshmallows into melted chocolate helps seal their surface. Dusting lightly with powdered sugar while the coating is wet also reduces stickiness and adds a nice finish.

Yield: 20 decorated marshmallows

Method: No-Cook
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Marshmallow Base

Large marshmallows – 20 pieces

Chocolate Coating

White chocolate – 8 ounces
Vegetable shortening – 1 tablespoon

Decoration

Powdered sugar – for dusting
Black edible marker – 1 pen
Candy eyes – 40 pieces (2 per marshmallow)

Instructions

Prepare the chocolate coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate and vegetable shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. This creates a glossy, workable coating for the marshmallows.
Dip the marshmallows: Using a fork or skewer, dip each large marshmallow into the white chocolate mixture, ensuring an even coat. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing it on parchment paper to set. Repeat with all marshmallows.
Decorate the marshmallows: While the coating sets but is still tacky, attach two candy eyes to each marshmallow to resemble the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man’s face. Allow the chocolate to harden completely.
Add facial details: Once the chocolate coating is firm, use the black edible marker to draw the mouth, nostrils, and other facial features that bring the character to life.
Finishing touch: Lightly dust the marshmallows with powdered sugar to reduce stickiness and give a soft, snowy effect reminiscent of the Stay Puft character.

Notes

Use good quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth coating consistency.
Allow marshmallows to set fully before decorating with the edible marker to avoid smudging.
If candy eyes are unavailable, small dots of black icing or melted chocolate can substitute.
Store the finished marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
