Ingredients
- 1 (18 oz) box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the package)
- 16 large marshmallows
- 1 (10 oz) bag white melting wafers (about 1 ½ cups)
- ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×9 inch baking pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them into 16 squares.
- Transfer the brownie squares to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about an inch of space between each brownie for easy decorating.
- Melt the white melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl according to the package instructions. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Dip the bottom of each marshmallow into the melted white chocolate, then place the marshmallow upright in the center of each brownie square.
- Drizzle a bit more melted white chocolate over each marshmallow, covering it completely, and allow some drips to run down the sides for a spooky effect.
- Let the brownies sit at room temperature until the white chocolate has cooled and set completely.
- Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Pipe eyes and a mouth on each marshmallow ghost to create spooky faces.
- Allow the chocolate decorations to dry completely before serving.
Notes
The brownie mix you choose can vary in flavor; opt for a rich chocolate variety for best results. You can also substitute with good-quality white chocolate for the melting wafers.
