Dessert: Marshmallow Heads

Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen On with their heads! These cute ghouls don't take much to make—just a few basic ingredients and a bit of handiwork with a toothpick for styling. To re-create this display, snip the lollipop sticks into different lengths.

Ingredients

28 marshmallows
28 lollipop sticks
1 bag white chocolate chips
Green or orange gel or paste food color
canola oil
Vanilla or white frosting
Green and red gel or paste food color
Chocolate frosting
4 pastry bags fitted with couplers and fine writing tips

Instructions

Place a marshmallow onto each lollipop stick with the flat sides facing out. One exception: If making Frankenstein's monster, place the marshmallows on the sticks with the flat sides facing up and down.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate according to package directions.
To make Draculas or mummies, dip one marshmallow at a time into the melted chocolate, tapping gently on the edge of the bowl to shake off any excess. Place the sticks upright into florist's foam or a large bowl filled with granulated sugar or crushed chocolate cookies. Let stand at room temperature until set, 30 minutes.
To make Frankenstein's monsters or jack-o'-lanterns, tint the chocolate with green or orange food color (you will need to mix in 3 to 5 tsp of oil for every 1/2 cup melted chocolate to keep it from stiffening). Dip as directed above.
Tint 1/2 cup of the white frosting green and 1/2 cup red. Place the red, green, remaining white and chocolate frostings in the pastry bags and decorate, following the directions. Let set for 30 minutes before serving.
