How to Make Marshmallow Snowmen
December 15, 2010
I made these a few years ago when I was hosting our church’s Christmas party for the children.
Use 2 large marshmallows and push them down on a large pretzel.
Using an orange fruit roll up cut some long triangles to make a nose,
these will stick on easily.
Then use another color fruit roll up to cut strips for the scarves.
Melt some white almond bark in a double boiler.
Dip one side of a fruit ring (like gummie bears),
this will be the ‘glue’ that holds the ring on the top of the snowman.
It helps to place them upside down to let them harden (about 5-10 minutes).
Use some more almond bark to glue a gum drop to form a hat.
Melt a small amount of semi sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler.
Using a toothpick dot on some eyes.
A food coloring marker would work too!
I used a large divided dish with extra marshmallows in it to help them
stand up for display and serving.

These are adorable! I especially like them because we live in Florida, so these are the only snowmen my kids will get to make.
I saw this on The Happy Housewife, and hadn’t clicked over because we were sick before Christmas. So we are making our fun stuff this week.
Before I read this, I had only seen your picture, so I went a little nuts and experimented: stuck two large marshmallows on a toothpick, smashed a gumdrop flat, then stuck that for a brim with another gum drop on top for the hat. I actually cut a wedge of carrot out and tried sticking that in for a nose…it popped right out. I had come to the conclusion that a food coloring marker would work, too, but I like the melted chocolate chips better. The fruit rollups will work perfectly! I tried to use red licorice! Next time I’ll just read the tutorial first…
Wonderful blog!
