If you have a Halloween party planned then this Halloween Hot Chocolate served in a spooky ghost glass with the addition of bobbing ghosts floating on the top is a must. It also makes a fun weekend treat or after school drink on a cold autumns night.
Halloween is all about embracing the season and creating spooky but magical moments. Thus sometimes it’s the little details that are so easy to achieve that have the most impact for a Halloween Party.
I made these ghost glass using removable vinyl with my Cricut Joy and smart vinyl, but you could cut yours out of black vinyl or stickers.
Why Use Cricut Removable Vinyl To Make Ghost Glasses?
The glasses are a one trick pony kinda of glass. Lovingly created for a one off treat for a Halloween party. Thus vinyl is easily removable, ready for the next party, such as a Christmas or also a summer themed party.
How To Make Ghost Glasses With White Spooky Hot Chocolate And Bobbing Ghosts.
You Will Need
- Hot chocolate or latte heat proof glasses
- Black removable smart vinyl
- Scissors (If not using a Cricut)
- Cricut Joy
- Weeding tool
- Mini Marshmallows
- Edible black pen
- Squirty cream
- Paper Straws
- White options hot chocolate powder
Firstly, Start By Making The Halloween Hot Chocolate Ghost Glass With Cricut Removable Vinyl
You can use permanent vinyl if you want your ghost face to be permanent. However for the sake of space I like to make mine recyclable, these cute little ghost glasses will be snowmen very soon!
In Cricut design space search ghost in the left hand image bar and choose a ghost with a face you like and select. Don’t worry about the rest of the ghost, you are going to remove that and just use the face.
- Choose your ghost and select a circle from the right hand bar in Cricut Design Space.
- Size the circle over the ghost face, ensuring the circle sits inside of the perimeter lines.
- Now right click and select slice in the bottom right hand corner.
- Move the debris and excess away and you’re left with a sliced Ghost Face.
Ghost Face Template To Use
The face can be cut on any type of sticker or vinyl for a temporary effect. Alternatively use permanent vinyl to keep your ghost glass forever. Here is the cut file link in design space.
Adding The Ghost Face To Your Glass
Once the vinyl is cut simply peel it off and place on the glass free hand. I find with chunkier cuts this works so much better for me, rather that using transfer tape as I am able to smooth it over to remove any creases. However for more intricate cuts transfer tape is recommended.
Making Ghostly Marshmallows
Grab a handful of mini marshmallows and your edible pen. For the eyes you simply dot the pen downwards onto the marshmallow to create 2 dots. However to make a ghostly mouth you drag the pen gently down with the side on the pen nib. Put the Halloween Marshmallows to one size whilst you prepare the hot chocolate.
Prepare The Hot Chocolate
Keep this part simple, its all about the effect. Options white hot chocolate tastes delicious and makes the perfect hot white chocolate.
First fill your Halloween hot chocolate ghost glass but not quite to the top with 2/3 boiled water and two spoonfuls of white hot chocolate, stir well and add frothy hot milk.
Now top up with lashings of squirty cream before with topping with your ghostly marshmallows and add an orange straw. Enjoy and watch how impressed your guests are!
