Ingredients
Marshmallow Body
- 9 large marshmallows
Coating and Decoration
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Black edible marker, for facial details
- Candy eyes, 6 pieces
Optional
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (for creamier chocolate coating)
Instructions
- Melt the Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate and vegetable shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. If desired, stir in heavy cream for a creamier texture.
- Assemble the Body: Dip the bottom of one large marshmallow into the melted white chocolate and place it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to form the base. Carefully stack two more marshmallows on top, dipping each bottom in chocolate, to build the body.
- Coat the Structure: Using a spoon or spatula, coat the entire marshmallow stack with the melted white chocolate ensuring full coverage. This will help hold the marshmallows together and create the Stay Puft look.
- Add Eyes and Allow to Set: Immediately attach candy eyes while the chocolate is still wet. Use a toothpick if needed for precise adjustments.
- Finish Decoration: Once the chocolate has hardened, lightly dust the figure with powdered sugar for a snowy effect. Use a black edible marker to carefully draw a friendly smile on the marshmallow face.
Notes
- Ensure the white chocolate is completely smooth to create an even coating and avoid lumps.
- Use a toothpick to fine-tune the placement of candy eyes for perfect alignment.
- Adding a tablespoon of heavy cream to the chocolate melt will make the coating creamier and easier to work with.
- Work quickly when coating and attaching eyes so the chocolate doesn’t harden before finishing.
- Store finished marshmallows in a cool, dry place to maintain shape and texture.
