How to Make Ghost Marshmallows
- Melt the chocolate: Place the white chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Prepare the marshmallows: Insert a lollipop stick into the bottom of each marshmallow if using sticks.
- Coat the marshmallows: Dip each marshmallow into the melted white chocolate, coating it completely. Let the excess chocolate drip off.
