Marshmallow Ghosts

Marshmallow treats are relatively easy to make and they can be changed for any season. All you do is soften 1 packet unflavored gelatin in 1/3 cup of water. I do this in a stand mixer to prevent unnecessary dirty bowls.

Then in a sauce pan mix one cup sugar and 1/4 cup water.

Bring it to a boil and let it cook until it reaches soft ball stage.

Immediately add it to a stand mixer and begin beating. Beat until peaks form and can hold there shape.

While it is beating put sugar on a baking sheet or plate. If you want your marshmallows to be colored then add food coloring to it first.

Sorry for no pictures of this step but you have to move fast. Put your marshmallow mixture into a piping bag with a large circular tip. I used a 1/2 inch. Then make your ghost shape. Use more pressure at the bottom of the ghost. Let up at the top of the ghost to form the "head". Sprinkle with sugar.

Then melt some chocolate chips in a bag.

Snip off the corner and add your ghost face. That is all there is too it. There are so many possibilities of different marshmallow treats you can make.
