Marshmallow Fluff Ghosts in Spiced Apple Cider
Spiced apple cider with ghost faces made from marshmallow fluff inside the cup are a fun and easy way to enjoy a Halloween drink with the kids even when it’s still warm outside!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp marshmallow fluff
- 16 oz storebought spiced apple cider
- drizzle caramel sauce
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp white sugar
- dollop whipped cream (optional)
- fall-themed cookie mug toppers (optional)
Instructions
-
Using the back of a spoon, smear a few dollops of marshmallow fluff inside your cup or glass. Feel free to add as many as you like—we suggest three for a fun touch.
-
On the outside of the glass, draw a cute ghost face on top of each marshmallow dollop using a dry-erase marker, which can be wiped off later. If you want it permanent, use a Sharpie.
-
On a flat plate, mix cinnamon and sugar. Make sure the plate is large enough for your glass rim to fully touch. On a separate plate, drizzle a small pool of caramel sauce.
-
Dip the rim of your glass in the caramel sauce first, then into the cinnamon sugar mixture for a tasty fall-flavored rim.
-
Fill the glass with ice (optional) and pour in spiced apple cider.
-
Drizzle more caramel or chocolate sauce along the inside of the glass
-
Top with whipped cream and finish with a fall-themed cookie mug topper.
-
Serve immediately and enjoy!
