    For variety, try using different colored candies. Substitute white chocolate with dark for a different look.
    Decorate your platter with extra candies or marshmallows to make everything festive. And most importantly, have fun making and eating them! They’re irresistible and delightful. 🍡

    Presentation & Serving

    I love setting the scene with these adorable snowman marshmallows! 🥳 They’re not only tasty but create a fun winter vibe.

    Equipment:

    • Cute plates or wooden boards
    • Colorful napkins
    • Festive mugs

    Ingredients:

    • Marshmallow snowmen
    • Hot chocolate
    • Sprinkles 🌈

    When serving, I place each snowman on a colorful napkin. It makes their features pop!

    For drinks, I pour hot chocolate into festive mugs. It’s even more fun when marshmallows float on top!

    Guests absolutely love it when I add sprinkles for a splash of color. It’s such a simple way to impress and make them smile. 😊

    When my friends come over, eating these snowmen always turns into laughter and joy. Sharing them just makes memories even warmer.

    Storage Tips

    I’m excited to share how to keep my delicious Snowman Marshmallow Snacks fresh and tasty! 🎉

    For short-term storage, I recommend placing these sweet treats in an airtight container. This keeps them fresh for up to a week.

    Be sure to store the container at room temperature, away from heat and direct sunlight. 🌞 This helps prevent the marshmallows from melting.

    If you need to store them for a longer time, you can freeze them!

    Wrap each marshmallow snack individually in plastic wrap or wax paper. Then, place them in a freezer-friendly bag or container.

    When you’re ready to enjoy them, let them sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes to soften up. ❄️

    Remember to handle them gently. The marshmallow snowmen are fragile and can easily be squished if not handled with care.

    Keeping a layer of parchment paper between layers can help prevent sticking and squishing.

    With these tips, my Snowman Marshmallows will stay fresh and delightful, ready for whenever I want to enjoy them! 😊

    Tips & Tricks

    Making Snowman Marshmallow Snacks is a fun and easy treat! 🎉 Here are some tips to help perfect your little marshmallow snowmen.

    • Sticky Situation: If the marshmallows are too sticky, I dust my hands with a little powder sugar to keep things tidy. This makes them easier to handle! 🙌
    • Personalize with Colors: I like to add food coloring to the melted chocolate for the hats and scarves. It brings more life to the snowmen.

    Equipment

    • Toothpicks
    • Small bowls
    • Baking sheet with parchment paper

    Ingredients

    • Large marshmallows
    • Mini chocolate chips
    • Pretzel sticks
    • Icing or melted chocolate

    Instructions

    • Stack marshmallows with toothpicks.
    • Use mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons.
    • Break pretzel sticks for arms.
    • Add icing to create a scarf or hat.
    • Quick Sticking: I use slightly warm water to dampen the marshmallows. This helps the decorations stick better without falling off. 💦
    • Let Them Set: After decorating, I leave them on a baking sheet for about 10 minutes to set properly. Patience pays off! ⏲️

    Making these snacks is like bringing a little magic to the kitchen! ✨
