These Spooky Marshmallow Witches are a fun and whimsical treat just in time for Halloween. Semi-homemade treats like these are tons of fun to make and even more fun to serve and enjoy. Kids will love this treat at their next class party, or love the surprise of you adding to their dessert plate after dinner.
I love recipes that don’t really involve a lot of cooking and prep that is easy to manage in a simple assembly method. Since you are doing multiple steps with each “witch,” I think it is best to set up your counter for a simple assembly line. Get the kids involved and this task will go even faster.
While the recipe calls for chocolate chips to be the eyes and nose on your witch, you can easily substitute with colored candies if you want to add a unique color eye to each witch. We went with the simple chocolate chips so it was more cost-effective and a bit easier to keep track of.
Kids will love helping you color the coconut, add the hair to the witch, and use frosting to make witches hats. Setting up supplies in a row makes it easy to give each kid a task to handle. This makes a fun and productive setup that helps make your spooky marshmallow witches easy to assemble.
Add these fun treats to your dessert buffet for a kids class Halloween party, at-home party, or haunted house event.
