A fun and easy-to-make treat perfect for Halloween or any festive occasion.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
Stirring frequently prevents the chocolate from burning and ensures a smooth texture.
Let the melted chocolate cool for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Allowing the chocolate to cool slightly helps it coat the marshmallows better.
Mix the mini marshmallows into the melted chocolate until evenly coated.
Ensure all marshmallows are well-coated for consistent flavor.
Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate-marshmallow mixture onto a waxed paper-lined baking sheet.
Use a spoon to shape the mixture into mounds resembling critters.
Decorate each mound with licorice pieces for legs and candy eyes for eyes.
Get creative with the decorations to give each critter a unique personality.
Refrigerate the critters for 20 minutes or until firm.
Chilling helps the critters set and makes them easier to handle.
Serve the critters on a festive platter and enjoy!
Arrange the critters creatively to enhance the presentation.
