Marshmallow Witches

Marshmallow Witches are the perfect dessert for Halloween! You can make them for your kiddos or serve at a party. Just be careful to try and not eat the candy as you make them, like I did 🙂 My boys loved them and I let them help in making them! It was great family fun in the kitchen full of laughter and giggles.

It is easy to prepare.  For the face of each witch, place a dab of frosting on the bottom of three chocolate chips; press two for eyes and one for nose onto each marshmallow. For hair, combine green food coloring and a drop of water in a small resealable plastic bag; add coconut and shake well. Spread a small amount of frosting on sides of marshmallows; press coconut hair into frosting. Place 3 tablespoons of frosting in a small heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; tint orange with red and yellow food coloring.  Set aside.

For hats, spread some of the remaining frosting in the center of chocolate wafers; press peanut butter cups upside down into frosting. Lightly spread bottoms of chocolate kisses with frosting; place on peanut butter cups. Cut a small hole in the corner of pastry or plastic bag; insert a small star tip. Fill the bag with frosting and pipe stars around the base of each peanut butter cup. Secure a hat to each witch with a dab of frosting.

Although these Marshmallow Witches take a little effort it is worth it!  They make the perfect garnish or addition to a Halloween party menu.  I hope you enjoy making and eating these festive Halloween Marshmallow Witches.
