- 1 package mini marshmallows (10 oz)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Green food coloring (adjust for desired color)
- Candy eyeballs (various sizes for decoration)
Instructions
- Melt the Marshmallows:
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and mini marshmallows. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until fully melted and smooth.

- Shape the Monsters:
