Marshmallow Snowman

Try making these delicious marshmallow snowman treats with your kids to enjoy with a cup of hot cocoa! They are simple and taste so yummy.

Winter is a fun time to make little treats for kids. Not only are these marshmallow treats tasty to eat, but they are so much fun to make. The great thing about this recipe is that it’s simple enough for older kids to make and enjoy. If your kids are younger and having a hard time making the face designs with the icing bottles they can have fun dipping the marshmallows in the powdered sugar, sort the M&M’s in colors, and place them on the snowman. 🙂

My family and I love having simple activities like this ready throughout those colder months when we are stuck inside. Sure, we go out when it snows, but it’s nice to have something on standby when I hear the kids say, “I’m bored.” This is a perfectly simple craft and treats to keep on hand!

How to Make Adorable Marshmallow Snowmen

As I said, these snowmen are incredibly easy to put together! All you have to create is the snowman’s face using your jumbo marshmallows and some cookie icing. It’s that simple. Follow these step-by-step instructions to learn how to do it on your own.

1. Start by cutting the large marshmallows in half.
2. Dip the cut half in some powdered sugar, so it’s not sticky.
3. Place your marshmallows on parchment paper.
4. Draw on a face and ear muffs with cookie icing.
5. Add mini M&Ms to the side of each marshmallow to be the fuzzy earmuffs.

Enjoy these delicious little treats on their own, or let them take a swim in some hot chocolate! Kids will enjoy making their own marshmallow snowmen to eat later!

Ingredients

• LARGE campfire marshmallows
• cookie icing ** in green, blue, orange, and red
• mini m&ms
• Powdered sugar

Instructions

• Start by cutting the large marshmallows in half.
• Dip the cut half in some powdered sugar, so it’s not sticky.
• Place your marshmallows on parchment paper.
• Draw on a face and ear muffs with cookie icing.
• Add mini M&Ms to the side of each marshmallow to be the fuzzy earmuffs.

Notes

**If you don’t want to buy colored cooking icing (as they can be pricey – however we will not use all of it and you can pop the top back on and save it for another treat) The food decorating gel works but leaves the snowmen a little tacky, so packaging them is a bit tricky. The cooking icing dries hard for a little less mess.
