Ghost Brownies
Ghost Brownies are spooky brownies that are so adorably cute! Boxed brownies are topped with a marshmallow and melted chocolate to create the spooky ghost; they're easy to make and always a hit at any Halloween party or celebration.
Servings 16
Ingredients
- 1 box (18 oz) brownie mix (plus the ingredients called for)
- 1 bag (10 oz) white melting wafers (about 1½ cups)
- 16 large marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the brownies, in a 9x9 square baking pan, according to the box directions.Once done, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely before proceeding with the ghost brownies. * I recommend lining the pan with parchment paper so you can easily lift the brownies out to cut them in the next step.1 box (18 oz) brownie mix
- Remove the brownies from the pan and cut into 16 squares. Transfer the brownie squares to a parchment-lined baking sheet leaving at least 1-inch between each square.
- Melt the white chocolate melting wafers according to package directions.1 bag (10 oz) white melting wafers
- Dip the bottom of a large marshmallows into the melted white chocolate and place it firmly onto the center of each brownie. Repeat with the remaining brownie squares.16 large marshmallows
- Drop a spoonful of the melted white candy melts over top the large marshmallow, allowing the chocolate to run down and cover all sides of the marshmallow. You may need to use the spoon to gently coax the chocolate around the marshmallow to ensure it's evenly coated. It's ok if the chocolate drips down the sides of the brownies.
- Allow the brownies to set at room temperature until the melted chocolate ghosts are firm and set.
- Once the ghosts have set melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 15-second increments until smooth, making sure to stir it well after each increment. Transfer the melted chocolate to a sandwich Ziploc bag and cut a small opening in the bottom corner. Pipe eyes onto each ghost and a mouth to create the face. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips
Notes
- Move quickly when applying the white melting wafers on top of the marshmallows to prevent them from hardening before you finish coating the ghosts. If the melted wafers become too firm to work with during the process, simply add 1 teaspoon of shortening or coconut oil and remelt them in the microwave for 15-30 seconds.
- I recombine only using white melting wafers (Ghiradelli brand) or the white candy melts. Do not use white chocolate chips. The melting wafers or candy melts are designed to be melted and stay melted longer than white chocolate chips, which makes the ghosts easier to decorate. Melting wafers or candy melts also result in a smoother finish on the outside of the marshmallows.
