Ingredients
24ozbag large marshmallows
14ozbag Wilton Yellow Candy Melts
14ozbag Wilton Blue Candy Melts*
Black decorating gel
Lollipopcake pop Sticks or Craft Sticks
Candy Eyes
Cooking Spray
Instructions
In two separate small crockpots or double boilers, melt the yellow chocolates in one and the white chocolates (or the blue if you can find them) in the other.
Place a piece of wax paper on your work area and spray lightly with cooking spray.
IF USING WHITE CHOCOLATE MELTS AND BLUE COLORING: Once the white chocolate is melted, add a drop of the blue candy coloring and stir. Continue to add drop by drop until you get the desired color. NOTE: Do NOT use regular food coloring. It doesn’t work well with the melted chocolate.
Before covering with the candy melts, roll each marshmallow in your hand to reshape.
With a butter knife or spoon, cover the top and the sides of the marshmallow ¾ of the way down with the yellow melts. This will be the minions head/body/face. Smooth the yellow melted chocolate with a knife or back of the spoon.
Insert the cake pop stick into the top (un-iced) part of the marshmallow, but do not punch through the bottom.
Holding the stick, turn marshmallow over and ice the remaining part of the marshmallow (including the bottom) with the blue icing. (This will be the minions pants.)
Hold the covered marshmallow and let the chocolate set for a few seconds before moving on to the next step.
TO DECORATE
Once chocolate has set on marshmallow, use the black gel to create a line near the top of the marshmallow for the glasses band. (SEE PICTURE) Place one or two eyes on the gel line, press lightly. Make a smile with the black gel. (Vary the smile, eyes, and glasses!) **If the eyes don't set, place some melted chocolate on the back with a toothpick and gently press back onto the face
Place the marshmallows on the prepared wax paper and let stand until dry. Repeat until you’ve used all the marshmallows and made your minion army!
Notes
*If you can't find blue candy melts, use white Melts with blue Wilton's food coloring. DO NOT use regular food coloring because it does not mix well with melted chocolate.
