The image shows a small marshmallow snowman shaped like a Lego figure, placed on a round white plate with a black spider web design. The snowman has three main layers: a smooth white body with a textured surface like soft sugar, round pink cheeks on each side of its smiling face, and small black eyes and buttons made from icing. It wears a small red bow tie and a tiny red hat on top of its head. The background is a white marbled texture with some orange, out-of-focus Halloween decorations.

Ingredients

Large marshmallows
White chocolate
Vegetable shortening
Powdered sugar
Black edible marker
Candy eyes

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the white chocolate with a small amount of vegetable shortening to create a smooth, glossy coating.
Step 2: Dip each large marshmallow into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully covered.
Step 3: Immediately roll the coated marshmallow in powdered sugar to give it a soft, matte finish and prevent sticking.
Step 4: Place candy eyes onto the marshmallow while the chocolate is still wet so they adhere properly.
Step 5: Use the black edible marker to draw a smiling mouth and any additional details to create the Stay Puft character’s face.
Step 6: Allow the marshmallows to set completely at room temperature before serving or packaging.

Tips & Variations

For easier dipping, warm the chocolate gently in short bursts to avoid burning.
Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or peppermint extract to the melted chocolate for a flavored twist.
If candy eyes aren’t available, use small dots of black chocolate or icing to create eyes.

Storage

Store the decorated marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigerating as moisture can soften the coating. If the chocolate softens, let the marshmallows sit out for a few minutes before eating.

How to Serve

The image shows a small, white textured snowman-shaped cake with two small arms sticking out at the sides. The snowman has a happy face with black eyes and smile details, along with pink blush on the cheeks. It wears a tiny red bow tie near the top and a small red decoration on its head. The snowman sits on a round white plate adorned with black spider designs around the edges. The background features a soft focus with warm orange tones and blurry pumpkin shapes, creating a Halloween or fall feel. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate instead of white chocolate?

Yes, you can substitute regular chocolate, but the Stay Puft character’s classic look is best achieved with white chocolate.

How do I keep the candy eyes from falling off?

Attach candy eyes while the chocolate is still wet so they stick firmly. If needed, use a small dab of melted chocolate as glue to secure them in place.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

Large marshmallows – 20 pieces
White chocolate – 8 ounces
Vegetable shortening – 1 tablespoon
Powdered sugar – 1/4 cup
Black edible marker – 1
Candy eyes – 40 pieces (2 per marshmallow)

Instructions

Prepare the White Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate along with vegetable shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring well each time until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. This helps create a glossy and smooth coating for the marshmallows.
Coat the Marshmallows: Using a skewer or fork, dip each large marshmallow into the melted white chocolate mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the marshmallow onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once coated, lightly dust each marshmallow with powdered sugar to prevent sticking and add a soft matte finish reminiscent of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man’s texture.
Add Candy Eyes: While the chocolate is still wet, gently press two candy eyes onto each marshmallow to create the face.
Draw Facial Details: After the chocolate has set completely, use the black edible marker to draw the iconic mouth and other facial features on each marshmallow to bring the Stay Puft character to life.
Set and Serve: Allow the marshmallows to sit at room temperature until the coating is hardened. Once set, arrange them on a plate and serve or store in an airtight container.

Notes

Use high-quality white chocolate for a smoother and creamier coating.
Vegetable shortening helps thin the white chocolate, making it easier to coat the marshmallows evenly.
Make sure to use edible markers safe for food to decorate the marshmallows.
Store the finished marshmallows in a cool, dry place to avoid melting or stickiness.
If candy eyes are unavailable, you can use small dots made with black edible markers.
