Ingredients
Ingredients
- 12 large marshmallows
- 24 mini pretzel sticks (for arms)
- 1/2 cup melted chocolate or chocolate chips
- 12 orange sprinkles or small orange candy pieces (for noses)
- Optional: edible markers for additional decoration
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: Gently melt the chocolate or chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Once smooth, transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag or prepare a toothpick for detailed drawing.
- Decorate Marshmallows: Use the piping bag or toothpick to draw eyes, mouth, and buttons on each large marshmallow with the melted chocolate, creating the snowman’s facial features and buttons along its front.
- Attach Arms: Carefully insert two mini pretzel sticks on either side of each marshmallow to form the snowman’s arms, gently pushing to ensure they stay in place without breaking the marshmallow.
- Add Nose: Place an orange sprinkle or a small orange candy piece in the center of the marshmallow’s face as the snowman’s carrot nose, pressing lightly so it adheres to the chocolate.
- Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate to fully set by leaving the marshmallows at room temperature or refrigerating briefly. Once the chocolate is firm, your snowman snacks are ready to enjoy or display at your holiday gathering.
Notes
- For extra flair, use candy scarves or colored icing to further decorate each snowman.
- This recipe is an excellent edible craft for kids, combining creativity with a tasty reward.
- Ensure pretzels are inserted gently to prevent marshmallows from breaking.
- Keep snacks refrigerated if made ahead to maintain freshness and chocolate firmness.
