Ingredients
1 box of chocolate cake mix
12 oz chocolate melting wafers
Assorted candy eyes
Sprinkles
1 cup miniature marshmallows
½ cup peanut butter or Nutella (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package instructions and pour it into a greased baking pan. Bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool completely.
Crumble the cooled cake into a mixing bowl. Add marshmallows and peanut butter or Nutella if using. Mix well and form into monster shapes about the size of a golf ball.
Melt the chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl according to package instructions until smooth.
Dip each shaped monster into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s completely covered. Remove excess chocolate and add candy eyes and sprinkles before the coating sets.
Let the coated monsters cool on a parchment-lined baking sheet until the chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing, and consider different flavor extracts for a unique taste.
