How to Make Marshmallow Snowman Buddies

Pour a small amount of orange chocolate into a different small glass microwave-proof bowl.

Microwave them for one minute

Push the snowman face onto the cinnamon stick above the blank marshmallow

Place marshmallow buddies into cups of hot chocolate. Use the cinnamon stick to stir the hot chocolate and give it a cinnamon flavor.

Tips and Tricks

Because this is a winter treat, the room temperature in the house might be colder than in the summer. This means the chocolate will harden quickly. If this happens, pop the hardened microwave into the microwave for 10-30 seconds.

Pro Tip

Use wax paper to set the wet chocolate on. The chocolate will not stick to the wax paper, so your utensils can be easily lifted.

Marshmallow Snowman Variations

Use melted chocolate to attach a candy corn or orange gummy cut into a triangle as the snowman nose

Add chocolate buttons to the second marshmallow

Use mini pretzel sticks as arms

What to Serve with Hot Chocolate Treats

• buttery snowball cookies
