Frankenpops
What you'll need:
*Large marshmallows
*Sucker sticks
*Mint chips (we used about 1 cup)
*Shortening
*Chocolate frosting and an icing bag/tip
First, melt you mint chips in a glass bowl in the microwave. Start with about 60 seconds, then stir. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each, until smooth. Add about 1 tsp. shortening to the melted chips and stir to make the mixture thinner.
Next, stick your sucker sticks in the end of your marshmallows and start dipping! We just covered the tops and sides of ours.
Using a knife or frosting spatula, smooth out the sides and top to square-off Frankenstein's head.
A favorite tip of ours--stick them in playdough until they dry.
Before they hardened, we added eyes using Bake It Pretty's royal icing eye balls. These are so fun and last a long time. If you're just using frosting for your eyes, wait for your mint to harden. Then use your frosting in a bag with a small decorating tip to create hair, eyes, and mouth. We added the bolts on the side of his head the same way.
Isn't he cute? With the combination of mint and chocolate, these little pops are monstrously good!

Any ideas on what could be used instead of marshmellows?
Very cute marshmallow pops!

These are too fun!
Very Very Cute! Good Idea! Thank you for posting. I will have to make some and let you know how it goes!
If you are not a marshmallow fan you can try doughnut holes or cake pops. Yum!
so cute!
Excellent! Love those. (Very clever using the playdough to hold them, too.)
Here's another fun treat:

Happy Halloween!
can you share the source for the chocolate bulk buy? I've been wanting to do one.
We did a bulk order from Guittard chocolate. Anyone can do it as long as you place one large order of 500 or more pounds. This sounds like a lot, but it is an easy goal to reach. With the holidays here everyone wanted some. We ordered around 1200 pounds. That is really easy to do. They have a lot of different varieties. Contact them directly and ask about their bulk order option.
Oh my gosh, girls!! I LOVE this. So cute! You are fabulous...but you already know I think so!
Your playdough trick is straight up GENIUS!!!!!!! I can not tell you how hard I have searched for the perfect roost for drying treats.I am about to go crazy nuts making some delish goodies now! Thanks!!

These are so dangerous. Meaning, I would eat them all before any party that I would make them for! :D
Creepy and delicious!! I love it : )
Very cute!
darling!!!
Too cute!!
So cute, I'm going to steal your play dough idea!
They are so cute! I'm thinking about doing them for a church activity, so I'm wondering how long it takes for them to dry?
The mint chips did not take long to dry at all. The frosting hair and icing did not dry as quick but that was due to the type of frosting we used. If you use a buttercream or royal frosting they will dry faster. You can also try melted chocolate.
A local (Kirkland, WA) source for good chocolate and molds, etc. is
Dawn's Candy and Cake
10015 NE 137th Street
Kirkland, WA 98034
Fun place for a Girls' Night Out too. :)
Those are so cute. I may have to make some with my girls. thanks for the idea!
GREAT idea. Darling, but simple enough to do with my kiddos. Thanks!

We made these! But instead of marshmallows, we used brownies we'f broken up and rolled into marshmallow-shaped pieces. Yummm!
Love your frankenpops! Now check out ours: http://www.bunchfamily.ca/frozen-fruit-frankenpops
Cute! I wonder if it would taste gross to use fruit, like an apple or banana cut into a similar square shape?
