Ingredients
- 1 – 16 ounces dark green candy coating
- 2 tablespoons white candy coating
- 2 tablespoons black candy coating
- 1/4 cup purple candy coating
- 1 bag large marshmallows
- 36 lollipop sticks
Instructions
-
Melt the dark green candy coatings in the microwave in thirty second intervals, stirring after each time until the chocolate is smooth.
-
Dip a lollipop stick ¼” in and then into a marshmallow ¾ of the way through.
-
Dip marshmallows into the melted coating, turning the marshmallow as it coats.
-
Tilt the marshmallow over a cup and gently tap the stick until excess coating drips off.
-
Allow the pops to dry by sticking the end of the stick into a foam block.
-
As the pops dry, make the eyes by piping small 1/8-1/4-inch circles of melted white coating. Finish the eyes by adding a small speck of melted black coating to the center of the white "eye balls." Allow the eyes to harden before using.
-
Once the green coated pops are hard, dip only the top of each marshmallow in the melted purple coating. Using a toothpick, add texture to each pop's hair. Allow the hair to dry before adding facial features.
-
Add a little dot of chocolate where the eyeballs will be placed. Using the melted coating as glue, add two eyeballs to every pop.
-
Using an edible black ink marker or melted black coating which is in a piping bag with a tiny opening, pipe a decorate scar and mouth on each pop.
-
Allow the pops to harden before eating.
