Edible Skeleton Bones

Spookify your Halloween party menu with these easy and fun Halloween Treats, especially these Edible Skeleton Bones! From the cookbook, Ghoulish Goodies by Sharon Bowers.

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Additional Time 30 minutes

Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients

36 pretzel sticks
72 small marshmallows
12 oz white chocolate chips

Instructions

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Assemble the bones by pushing both ends of the pretzel stick into the flat side of the mini marshmallows.
Place white chocolate chips in a double boiler over just simmering water.
Stir frequently until chocolate chips have melted.
As soon as chocolate chips have melted, remove the entire double boiler from the heat.
Dip each pretzel-marshmallow bone into the melted chocolate and lift out with a fork, letting the excess drip back into the bowl.
Lay the bones on the prepared baking and refrigerate for 30 minutes to harden the chocolate. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
