  • 3 tablespoons butter You can use margarine for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 package (10 oz., about 40) JET-PUFFED Marshmallows or 6 cups of JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows Alternatively, you can use a vegan marshmallow brand.

  5. After it has cooled, cut into shapes using cookie cutters and decorate with candy corn and other Halloween candies.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They can also be frozen for about a month. Grease your hands or use damp spatulas for easy handling of the sticky mixture.
