3. How to Make a Spooky Sweet Marshmallow Ghost Hot Chocolate — Step by Step

Preparing the Ghost Marshmallows

Start by selecting small marshmallows and using white frosting or edible glue to attach tiny marshmallow heads if you want to create layered ghost shapes. Use the black edible marker to draw spooky eyes and a mouth, giving each marshmallow ghost its own personality.

Heating the Chocolate Milk

Pour 2 cups of chocolate milk into a saucepan or microwave-safe mug. Heat until steaming-hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to ensure smooth, delicious chocolate flavor. For a quick method, use a Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker to warm and chill your chocolate milk rapidly, making prep even faster.

Assembling the Hot Chocolate with Marshmallow Ghosts

Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Immediately top with the prepared marshmallow ghosts, allowing them to float eerily on top. Add whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or sprinkles for extra festivity if desired.

4. Tips for Perfecting Your Halloween Hot Chocolate

• Use fresh marshmallows for the best ghost shapes.
• Try different edible markers for unique facial expressions.
• Pre-make the marshmallow ghosts and refrigerate them until ready to serve.
• Experiment with different chocolate milk brands for custom flavors.

5. Storage and Make-Ahead Ideas

Since the marshmallow ghosts are best added fresh to maintain their shape, prepare your chocolate milk ahead of time and keep it refrigerated. Store any leftover marshmallow ghosts in an airtight container for up to one day and assemble just before serving for the best spooky effect. For quick cleanup, consider using nonstick cookware for easier cleanup during preparation.

6. Serving Suggestions for a Spooktacular Presentation

• Serve in clear mugs to showcase the floating marshmallow ghosts.
