Marshmallow Witches

By Lori01

These marshmallow witches are fun for parties. Great assembly line project for kids to help with, and then eat the witches!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup vanilla frosting, divided
• 36 miniature semisweet chocolate chips
• 12 large marshmallows
• 1 drop each green, red and yellow food coloring, optional
• 1/4 cup flaked coconut
• 12 chocolate wafers (like Oreos twisted in half)
• 12 minature peanut butter cups
• 12 milk chocolate kisses

Preparation

Step 1

For the face of each witch, place a dab of frosting on the bottom of three chocolate chips; press two for eyes and one for the nose onto each marshmallow.

For the hair, combine green food coloring and a drop of water in a small resealable plastic bag; add coconut and shake well. Spread a small amount of frosting on sides of marshmallows; press coconut hair into frosting.

Place 3 tablespoons of frosting in a small heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; tint orange with red and yellow food coloring. Set aside.

For hats, spread some of the remaining frosting in the center of chocolate wafers; press peanut butter cups upside down into frosting. Lightly spread bottoms of chocolate kisses with frosting; place on peanut butter cups.

Cut a small hole in the corner of pastry or plastic bag with the orange frosting; insert a small star tip. Fill the bag with frosting and pipe stars around the base of each peanut butter cup. Secure a hat to each witch with a dab of frosting.

TIPS: Also can make for Thanksgiving, just eliminate kisses and make hair orange and put a yellow buckle to hat with pipping or toothpick.
________
I used the other half of the split oreos on the bottom (pretty side up) as a stand for the witches. Use frosting to keep them there. I found some of them not to stand well on their own.

Considered skipping the peanut butter cup all together.
