Herman Munster Head Marshmallows
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott/Not Quite Nigella
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 2 minutes
- 20 large jet puffed marshmallows
- 100g/3.5ozs. dark chocolate
- 1/2 teaspoon extra virgin coconut oil
- Small "bone" candies (I bought them at a variety store)
Step 1 - Line a tray or plate with parchment. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a microwave. Add the coconut oil and stir to combine well.
Step 2 - Using a sharp knife make cuts to the bottom half of the marshmallows on two sides where the bolts would sit on his head-this will be the bottom half of his head. Insert the bone candies.
Step 3 - Dip the top part of his head of the marshmallow in the chocolate and then spoon two or three "drips" down one side to make Herman's hair. Repeat until all marshmallows have "hair".
Step 2 - Place the rest of the chocolate in a small piping bag and pipe eyes, mouth and a scar on the face. Allow to set completely.
