Some of us might be feeling a little bit sad about the end of summer. We went from sunbathing and barbecuing to pumpkin carving and apple picking, all in just a few weeks! No matter how you feel about fall, there is one thing that we can always look forward to Halloween. Here at Operation $40K, we love Halloween as much as any kid does. This year’s spooky recipe will have your whole family coming back for more with these easy marshmallow ghost brownies!

Mmm, savory brownies are great all year round, but when it’s time for Halloween there is no better dessert to serve than these spooky ghost marshmallow brownies. The best part is that these Halloween ghost brownies are super easy to make! All you need are a few simple ingredients and about 20 minutes of your time.

There is no need to get out the cocoa powder to whip up some fudgy brownies! You will skip the dry ingredients and start with a simple brownie mix box – one that you can even get at the local dollar store for just a buck. This will kick your spooky season off wonderfully and this will become one of your favorite Halloween recipes before you know it.

If you would rather use some homemade brownies for the base of these, – knock yourself out! Before you know it, you will have your dark chocolate and butter mixture as your decadent fudge brownie base for these wicked Halloween treats.

Marshmallow Ghost Brownies Recipe

Whatever favorite brownie recipe you use, you are going to create magic on the top of each brownie after you cut them in your square pan. These spooky ghost brownies are going to be the hit of the Halloween party you bring them to!

Keep in mind that this easy recipe makes one dozen of these fun gems.

Marshmallow Ghost Brownies Ingredients:

As you can see – I got them at Walmart – with the Great Value branding.

• Boxed Brownie Mix and ingredients to make it – I prefer the dessert mix that uses water
• 12 marshmallows
• 12 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers
• 3 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips – If you wish, you could use black decorating gel instead to make the faces on the large marshmallow Halloween ghost but the black gel takes a long time to dry

This is the pan I like to use – it is not easier cutting a large pan of brownies into the perfect sizes for these – and the pan makes all sides perfectly cooked edges for your treats. Seriously, have you ever tried to cut brownies with a plastic knife to protect that nonstick pan? It just doesn’t work.

Marshmallow Ghost Brownies Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare your boxed brownie mix according to the directions on the box and mix it up in a large bowl.

Grease the bottom of the brownie pan or use a cooking spray to coat it. Pour batter equally into the 12 cavities of the pan. (If you are using a regular 9 x 13-inch baking pan, you can simply coat the bottom with parchment paper and pour the batter over it.)

Bake brownies for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Remove them from the pan and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Place one large marshmallow in the center of each cooled brownie.

Pour white chocolate into a microwavable bowl and heat in 1-minute increments, until fully melted, stirring well between each heating session.

Using a spoon, drizzle white chocolate over the top of the marshmallow, and onto the brownie to make your marshmallow ghosts.

Refrigerate for 10 minutes once you’ve completed the step above on all brownies.

Place semi-sweet chocolate into the corner of a ziplock baggie and heat in the microwave for 45 seconds. Remove and massage with your hand to help melt all of the chocolate. If not fully melted, heat for an additional 20 seconds, and massage the plastic bag again.

Snip the opposite corner off the baggie, insert the #3 piping tip, and move chocolate to that side of the baggie to create your piping bag.

Gently squeeze chocolate through the piping tip to make one dot for each of the eyes, and an oval for the mouth to create your ghost face on your marshmallow ghosts.

Whip up this fun Halloween treat when it is Halloween time and you will be everyone’s pal!
