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.
