Description
A delightful and whimsical treat that combines hot chocolate with charming snowman-themed ingredients, perfect for winter gatherings.
Ingredients
- White coffee mugs or cups
- Hot cocoa mix (instant or homemade)
- Mini marshmallows
- Candy canes (or chocolate sticks)
- Chocolate chips or sprinkles (for eyes)
- Orange candy (for the carrot nose)
- Ribbon (optional for decoration)
- Festive cellophane (for gift wrapping, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mugs: Choose your white coffee mugs or cups. If gifting, ensure they are clean and dry.
- Layer the Ingredients: Spoon the hot cocoa mix into the bottom of the mug. Add a handful of mini marshmallows on top to represent the snow.
- Create the Snowman Face: Use chocolate chips or sprinkles to make eyes by gently pressing them into the marshmallows. Cut a small piece of orange candy to form a nose and place it below the eyes.
- Add the Snowman Body: Place a couple of additional marshmallows on top of the cocoa layer to resemble the snowman’s body. Stick a candy cane or chocolate stick into the side as a ‘stick arm’.
- Decorate (Optional): Tie a ribbon around the mug for festive flair. If wrapping as a gift, place the mug in festive cellophane and secure it with a ribbon.
Notes
Consider using flavored hot cocoa mixes or add peppermint extract for a twist. Use regular marshmallows or alternative options for decoration as needed.
