Marshmallow Brownie Ghosts Ingredients:

Marshmallows: 12 large marshmallows – these will form the ghostly heads of your treats.
Chocolate Chip Brownies: 12 squares of cooled, cut brownies – use either homemade or store-bought.
Black Cookie Icing: 1 tube – for creating the spooky faces on the marshmallows.
White Chocolate: 8 ounces – melted, for coating the marshmallows.
Parchment Paper: 1 sheet – for lining your tray and preventing sticking.

How to Make Marshmallow Brownie Ghosts:

Prepare the Brownies: If you haven’t already, bake your chocolate chip brownies according to your recipe or package instructions. Allow them to cool completely before cutting them into 12 squares.
Melt the White Chocolate: Place 8 ounces of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler.
Coat the Marshmallows: Insert a toothpick or lollipop stick into each large marshmallow. Dip each marshmallow into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is completely covered. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the marshmallow on a parchment-lined tray. Let the chocolate set and harden.
Decorate the Marshmallows: Once the white chocolate coating has set, use black cookie icing to draw ghost faces on each marshmallow. Create spooky eyes and mouths to give your ghosts character. Let the icing dry completely.
Assemble the Ghosts: Place each decorated marshmallow on top of a brownie square. If needed, use a small dollop of white chocolate as “glue” to attach the marshmallow to the brownie.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled Marshmallow Brownie Ghosts for about 15 minutes to firm up the chocolate and make handling easier. Serve and enjoy!

Notes/Tips/Possible Substitutions:

If you prefer a different type of chocolate, you can use milk or dark chocolate instead of white.
For an extra touch, try adding edible glitter or sprinkles to the marshmallow ghosts before the white chocolate sets.
If you don’t have black cookie icing, you can use melted dark chocolate or edible markers for the ghost faces.
To save time, you can use pre-made brownies or even brownie bites if you’re short on time.
