Marshmallow Snowman

It was in the 20s this morning – the perfect weather for hot chocolate and snowman building!
Sadly, there wasn’t any snow, but there was definitely some yummy hot cocoa to be had.
To make up for the lack of snowmen, we created our own snowman marshmallows to sit atop our mugs.
They’re fun to make and, even though you have to pipe the chocolate, it really takes no time at all.
If you’d like to give them as gifts with a jar of hot chocolate mix, let the chocolate piping cool completely before popping them in a cellophane gift baggie.
You might also want to put them in a mini-takeout container so that the faces don’t get smudged – I put a link for the ones we use below.
We’ve made them for my daughter’s sleepover parties before and they’ve been a huge hit as well.
Who doesn’t like a giant pop of marshmallow snowman goodness in their hot chocolate?!
However you serve them, I hope your family loves them as much as mine does!
