Timesaving Tips to Make Monster Halloween Treats

Before you begin, count out the number of jumbo marshmallows you will need, and spread them out on wax paper. If you don't have enough styrofoam to prop each treat after it is decorated, you can turn them upside down on the wax paper after decorating to dry. The sprinkles for hair will not stick to the wax paper.

The black decorator icing bag will have a built-in tip so you don't even have to put a tip on the bag to pipe

Recipe FAQs

Can I use white chocolate for the monster halloween treats?

You can use white chocolate in place of the candy melts in a pinch, but you won't get as smooth or pretty a result. Candy melts coat more evenly and smoothly.

I don't have lollipop sticks and can't find them last minute. What Can I Do?

Make your monster heads sit on a platter with no stick. It's a bit more gruesome somehow, but that works for this holiday.
