04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
06 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

09 - 16 large marshmallows
10 - 1 cup white chocolate chips or melting wafers

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
02 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, then mix until well incorporated.

06 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips or wafers in 20-second intervals, stirring after each session until smooth.
07 - Spoon or pipe melted white chocolate over marshmallows, allowing it to cascade down for ghostly effect.
