You don’t need an oven (or a 19th century Gothic laboratory!) to create these little guys. Just a few ingredients, a little assembling and you’re minutes away from having homemade treats on hand for when the ghosts and ghouls coming knocking at your door tonight!
WHAT YOU NEED
Lollipop sticks
Green candy melts
Dark chocolate
Candy eyes
Large marshmallows
Tooth picks
Food colouring/edible pens (optional)
Fruit bites/fruit leathers or similar, cut into little squares for “neck bolts” (optional)
HOW YOU MAKE ‘EM
I came across various versions of Frankenmallow pops on Pinterest in the lead up to Halloween this year and, as it’s been ever so long since I added a Project Pinterest post, I thought I’d include this project. They really are simple, yummy and fun… and a great no-bake treat option if you are short on time!
Happy Halloween, my pretties!
MM xx
Rosie Baillie says
Those look so delicious and cute, weird thing to say about Halloween sweets I know. I don’t think we have candy melts in the UK, I’ll have to have a look for an alternative.
mmmarzipan says
Thanks so much, Rosie :)! I believe you have Panduro craft stores in the UK? At least, there is an webshop online. The melts I used are Panduro’s Sweet Melt range. If you come across baking supply stores that sell Wilton products, they have a large range of candy melts… in all colours 🙂
Rosie Baillie says
We might do but I’ve never heard of them. I’ve just checked the Hobbycraft website and they sell Wilton candy melts 🙂
mmmarzipan says
Oh, that’s great! Love Wilton products :D!
Francesca says

Gallivanta says
These look like so much fun to make and eat. And I love the way your Cupcake Cutie photobombed your setting 🙂 ;and is that your other cutie nomming on a frankenmallow?
mmmarzipan says
Thank you so much! They are surprisingly light (and not too sweet either)… maybe because I used only the thinnest coating of chocolate? In any case, ,I certainly didn’t feel guilty eating one 😉 And yes, indeed… that is my little L monster munching away 😀 Well spotted! xx
Gallivanta says
