Make Marshmallow Snowmen!

Hey readers,

Winter hasn’t officially started yet, but it sure seems like it with all the snow outside! Whether it’s snowing or not where you live, here’s a fun edible snowman recipe you can make out of marshmallows.

You’ll need:

• Large marshmallows
• Pretzel sticks
• Icing
• Candy for decoration

What to do:

• Use a pretzel stick as a skewer to hold three marshmallows together, making the head and body of the snowman.
• Use the icing to draw a face, nose, and buttons onto the snowman.
• Stick a pretzel stick in both sides of the middle marshmallow to make arms.
• Use candy to create your own creative decorations! You can make a scarf out of liquorice, a hat out of a cookie or whatever else you can imagine.

Have fun snacking! If you make this recipe, make sure to leave us a comment and let us know if you liked it.
