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.
