If you're in a hurry, you can place butter and marshmallows in a large microwave proof bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Continue to microwave until marshmallows have expanded to double their size. Remove and stir. Microwave longer if needed and continue to stir until smooth.
Don't have Rolo's candies for the bolts? Use instead some mini peanut butter cups, pretzel sticks or pocky sticks for the bolts.
Want to give Frankenstein's hair some texture? Add some black or brown sprinkles to the chocolate before it dries and hardens.
Don't want to use the melted chocolate for his mouth? Use some black gel food coloring or black icing.
