Expert Tips

Line the baking pan with foil for easier cutting and quick cleanup.

Look for neon food colors next to the standard food colors in your supermarket.

    Had so much fun with the kids making these for a work party. They did not turn out like the picture, but pretty close. Make sure the frosting is just warm enough to pour over the marshmallows. Fun project and taste great!!!

    Mine didn't turn out quite so professional looking but they were cute nonetheless. I made a jack-o-lantern instead of the spider, using orange frosting for the base, green frosting for the stem on top, and the black gel to make triangular eyes and a big grin. Pretty cute and delicious--so rich, you better have some milk on hand!

    We just made about 3 dozen of these! We used cupcake holders for the brownies, that way its easier to give out at the school fair. Also, we used mini and reg chocolate chips for the eyes and mouth on the ghost. They are adorable!!
