Ingredients
Ingredients
- 12 large marshmallows
- 192 mini marshmallows 16 per snowman
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips*
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips*
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil
- Orange food dye or 1 drop red + 5 drops yellow
- 6 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups cut in half — optional
- Cooking spray
Equipment
- Piping bags or sandwich bags
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Sharp knife
- Silicone spatula
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 275°F.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly mist with cooking spray.
- Create 6 piles of 16 mini marshmallows on each baking sheet. Place 1 large marshmallow in the center of each pile.
- Bake for 5–6 minutes, just until the marshmallows puff and melt together.
- Do not overbake, or they will start to deflate and wrinkle. Won’t ruin the taste, but it won’t look as pretty!
- While the marshmallows are baking, melt the chocolate chips: Microwave for 20 seconds, stir. Repeat 1–2 more times until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag.
- Add 1-2 drops orange food dye and ½ teaspoon coconut oil to the white chocolate chips. Melt in the same way, stirring between intervals. Transfer to another piping bag and set aside.
- Remove the marshmallows from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 6–8 minutes.
- Unwrap the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and carefully cut each one in half. Each half will be used as a hat.
- Snip a tiny opening in each piping bag (about the size of a pencil tip). Pipe: two eyes, a pebble mouth, a carrot nose, and stick arms.
- Place a small dab of melted chocolate on top of the marshmallow and press on half of a Reese’s cup to secure the hat.*
- Allow the decorations to set for about 10 minutes before removing from the baking sheet.
- Use a silicone spatula to gently lift each snowman and place into a mug of hot cocoa. Enjoy!
