How to Make a Snowman Hot Chocolate Spoon

• Draw two eyes and a smile on one mini marshmallow using a black edible marker.
• Use the orange edible marker to add a carrot nose to the same marshmallow.
• On a second mini marshmallow, draw two black buttons.
• Set aside.

• Melt the brown chocolate melts according to package directions until smooth.
• Dip the bowl of a plastic spoon into the melted chocolate, filling the spoon and coating the bottom.

• Place the spoon onto wax paper. Prop a couple of mini marshmallows under the handle so the spoon stays level and the chocolate sets evenly.

• While the chocolate is still warm and melted, gently place the snowman head and body into the center of the spoon.

• Sprinkle small white nonpareils around the snowman to look like falling snow.

• Let the chocolate fully set before moving or packaging the spoon.
