You will need to make the skeleton face on the marshmallow first. To make the face, I melted a small amount of black candy melts in a dish and with a toothpick drew the eyes, nose and mouth onto the marshmallow. Allow it to dry fully. This is the most time consuming step—the rest of the assembly takes only a few minutes.
Step 2: Next, pick 5 pretzels that you will layer on the stick to create the “bones.”
Step 3: Place the stick through the smallest part of the pretzel.
Step 4: Stack all of the pretzels one after the other on the stick.
Step 5: To keep all of the pretzel “bones” in place use a mini marshmallow as the anchor. Slide the stick through the mini marshmallow and push it all the way up until it meets the pretzels.
Step 6: Your marshmallow and pretzel skeletons are done! What cuties!

To assemble your No Bones About It—You’re a Sweet Friend: Marshmallow and Pretzel Skeletons just follow these 3 steps:

  1. After your marshmallow and pretzel skeletons are assembled it’s time to package them up! Place each skeleton in a clear treat bag and twist tie the bottom around the lollipop stick.
  2. Next, download the free printable tag (located in the printable library). **Please make sure you download the printable to your computer before you try to edit the text. The printable PDF file contains editable fields for the name area. Just open the PDF in Adobe Reader and type the name(s) you would like to include. Then just click “save” and print. If you do not have Adobe Reader you can download it for free, here.
  3. Then, cut out the entire perimeter of the circles.
  4. Lastly, simply punch a hole in the top of the tag and tie it to the lollipop stick. Done! So easy and a really adorable gift!

  1. These are adorable! Love all of your Halloween treat ideas. I was wondering if you had any ideas that are a bit more eco-friendly (less paper/plastic. etc)? I would love to make these for my daughter’s Kindergarten class, but just thinking about 20 cellophane bags being thrown out immediately makes me wonder about alternative packaging. Thanks!

    • Hi Alaina,

      Thanks so much for your message! I think you bring up a really good point and I think wrapping the skeletons in a small amount of saran plastic wrap would work just as well as the treat bags. Although it is still a form of plastic, I think you would be able to use far less than the amount of plastic used in the treat bag. Or if there is a chance that your daughter and her class would eat them during school/at their class party you could just put them all in a large airtight container. I hope one of these options work well for you. Thanks again for your comment. I really appreciate it!

      Have a great day!

  2. I’m not sure how I happened upon one of your Pinterest “No Bones About It” posts but I’m so glad I did! These are the cutest! It’s challenging trying to think ahead for school activities, especially with two kids, however you make planning treats so easy!

    Thank you from a mom who still likes to be crafty but is always short on time.
