I can’t even deal with how quickly the holidays are approaching, which is why I’m bringing you a super quick and easy holiday how-to! Simply put this marshmallow snowman together with large puff marshmallows, pretzel sticks, candy corn, toothpicks and a bit of chocolate and place on top of a mug of hot chocolate (or beverage of choice!). In a few minutes the marshmallow snowman will begin to melt, bringing a little more sweetness to your beverage.
This Marshmallow Snowman beverage topper kind of reminds me of Olaf from FROZEN, so if you have a fan in your house, you can make these snowmen marshmallow treats before watching the movie.
Here’s what you need to make a Marshmallow Snowman for Hot Chocolate:
Marshmallow Snowman for Hot Chocolate Ingredients:
- Large Puff Marshmallows (3 per snowman)
- Thin Pretzel Sticks
- Candy Corn
- Mini Chocolate Chips
- Toothpicks
- Also needed: Hot chocolate
How to Make Marshmallow Snowman for Hot Chocolate
1. Lay three marshmallows in a row. Take the middle marshmallow and run a toothpick through the center leaving most of it exposed. Take a second toothpick and run it through the center of the opposite side of that same marshmallow – again leaving most of it exposed. Push marshmallows through the top toothpick and the bottom toothpick to connect the three.
2. Break a thin pretzel stick in half and press the rough-edged sides through each side of the center marshmallow for the snowman’s arms.
3. Divide the candy corn by cutting the different color sections apart with a knife or scissors. Take the orange section and rub it through your fingers to shape it into a carrot for the snowman’s nose.
4. Heat up a small plate in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Take three mini chocolate chips, and one-by-one, simply hold them by the point and press them on the hot plate for 1-2 seconds so the bottom gets slightly melted. Press them down the center of the snowman for his buttons.
5. Take a tablespoon of the chocolate chips and melt them in a small bowl in the microwave. Spoon the melted chocolate into one corner of a small sandwich bag. Snip off a tiny edge of the bag and pipe on the snowman’s eyes and mouth.
6. Prepare your hot cocoa and gently lay the snowman on top, and enjoy!
Tip: Prepare all of the snowmen first, and then place on the hot cocoa right before serving – they will start to melt slowly once they’re placed in the cup.
