Instructions
How to make the Rice Krispie monsters
- Line a large rectangular baking tin with greaseproof paper.
- Melt the butter and mini marshmallows together in a large bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
- Remove from the heat, then stir in the Rice Krispies and salt, coating them in the mixture.
- Spoon into the baking tin and firmly press out into an even layer.
- Set aside and leave to set for 1 hour, then lift out of the baking tin and slice into small rectangles.
- Divide the icing sugar between three small bowls. Add a few drops of water to each bowl and stir together to make a thick icing.
- Add a drop of food colouring to dye each bowl of icing a different colour.
- Spoon the icing over the top of each Rice Krispie rectangle and decorate with edible eyes. Leave to set.
How to make the marshmallow ghosts
- Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and place the marshmallows on top.
- Chop up the white chocolate into small chunks and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second blasts (stirring after each) until melted and smooth.
- Use a teaspoon to pour the melted white chocolate over the marshmallows, letting it drip down the sides. Leave to set for 20 minutes.
- Using a chocolate writing pen, draw two dots for the eyes and an oval for the mouth.
How to make the white chocolate brushstroke ghosts
- Chop up the white chocolate into small chunks and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second blasts (stirring after each) until melted and smooth.
- Drop teaspoons of melted white chocolate onto the baking tray, and use a pastry brush or the back of a spoon to smear the white chocolate downwards. This will create a ghost shape.
- Place a cocktail stick into the bottom half of each ghost, and roll it in the white chocolate to conceal the stick.
- Leave to dry for 20 minutes, then draw on two dots for the eyes and an oval for the ghost mouth using the chocolate writing icing.
- Place in the fridge for 20-30 minutes until the chocolate is hard and set.
- Carefully peel the ghosts of the baking paper and use them to decorate your spooky bakes.
