Super fun and spooky Halloween treat that the kids can help make. These Marshmallow Ghosts are frighteningly simple to make.

Super fun and spooky Halloween treat that the kids can help make.  These Marshmallow Ghosts are frighteningly simple to make.

Just a couple simple ingredients that are probably already in your pantry and you can make these super fun Marshmallow Ghosts for Halloween this year. They will make spooky treats for school, add ghoulish fun to your party, or just make the kids vote you as the “Best Mom Ever” for having these waiting when they get home from school this month.

Of course, this fun halloween dessert is so simple that the kids could probably do them on their own. {Well, maybe just a little microwave supervision because the chocolate does get really hot.}

My kids are making these for their friends and plan to hand them out their school Halloween parties this year. Just place one small ghost in a cellophane bag with a black ribbon, and a little tag and you’ve got the cutest little gift ever.

These chocolate covered marshmallow ghosts are a fun and easy no-bake Halloween treat. Perfect for school Halloween parties!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups mini marshmallows (1 bag)
  • 14 oz white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • 1-2 tbs shortening
