How to Make Halloween Marshmallows with Skeletons

Ingredients:

10 large marshmallows
1 cup of white chocolate chips
Black food coloring
Candy eyes (optional)
Sprinkles (optional)
Skeleton candy decorations

Directions:

Melt the Chocolate: Start by melting the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them for about 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat until fully melted and smooth.
Color the Chocolate: Once the chocolate is melted, add a few drops of black food coloring. Stir well until the color is even.
Coat the Marshmallows: Dip each marshmallow into the black chocolate mixture. Use a fork to help coat them evenly. Lift the marshmallow out and let the excess chocolate drip off.
Add Decorations: While the chocolate is still wet, you can place candy eyes or skeleton decorations on top. If you want, sprinkle some fun Halloween sprinkles to add extra flair.
Let Them Set: Place the decorated marshmallows on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Let the chocolate harden at room temperature, or speed up the process by placing them in the fridge for a few minutes.
Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, your Halloween Marshmallows with Skeletons are ready to enjoy!
