This recipe guides you through coating eight jumbo marshmallows in vibrant green Wilton candy melts mixed with oil, then adding candy eyeballs for a festive Halloween treat that stores easily at room temperature.
Ingredients
Directions
- Heat the Wilton candy melts in the microwave, pausing every 30 seconds to stir, until they reach a smooth, liquid consistency.
- Mix the tablespoon of oil into the melted candy until fully incorporated.
- Arrange the eight jumbo marshmallows on a baking sheet lined with silicone, foil, or parchment paper.
- Spoon about a tablespoon of the colored mixture over each marshmallow. Use the back of the spoon to guide the coating down the sides in a circular motion, adding more as needed to achieve full coverage.
- Position the candy eyeballs on the treats. For a sunken appearance, press them in while the coating is still wet; for a raised look, wait until the coating is nearly set. If needed, use a tiny dab of melted candy to secure them.
- Allow the candy coating to firm up completely at room temperature.
- Keep the finished treats in an airtight container at room temperature.
