I love how fun and creative Halloween can be.  It was my favorite holiday growing up!  Finding Halloween themed recipes can be a little tricky.  I have gone a little wild with the candy dipped marshmallows, especially for Halloween.  These monsters join marshmallow mummies, spiders, and jack-o-lanterns.  Find more of our holiday candy dipped marshmallows here!  Holiday marshmallows like these Halloween Candy Dipped Monster Marshmallows are simple and fun.  

To make these Halloween Candy Dipped Monster Marshmallows first melt one of the monster color candies as per package directions.  Dip whole, large marshmallows 2/3 of the way into the colored candy.  I used purple and bright green. Shake, tap, and drip the excess candy melts off and place on parchment paper to dry with the white, non-candied part of the marshmallow facing up.  I don’t worry about them being too smooth or perfect since they are monsters, after all!  Bumps and lumps are welcome.  Add the candy eyes.  Repeat with the other marshmallows and as many monster colors as you are making.

Next, melt the black candy melts and dip the white ends of each marshmallow into the black.  Again, I do not try to make the black perfectly smooth as the texture gives their hair a little character.  Place back on the parchments with the black sticking up and immediately sprinkle the black hair with black sugar sprinkles if using.  Let dry completely.  These marshmallows can be stored in a container for up to 5 days.

Notes

I like to use black candy melts for the hair and any colors for the monster bodies.  This batch used purple and bright green.

These marshmallows are fun as-is, or in a cup of hot chocolate!

Keep them away from heat or warmth when finished as the candy melts and gel will soften and melt.

The candy eyes are the smallest of three versions that I found.  There was no size listed on the package of the eye itself but each eye is 5/16 of an inch in diameter.  Click here for a link to this product.

I found the marshmallows and candy stick to a cooling rack, even if sprayed.  You can get them off with a knife but lose some of the bottom pieces.  Now I put them straight on parchment to dry, but be sure that most of the extra candy was tapped off.
