How to Make a Marshmallow Snowman
Put three marshmallows together and secure them with a skewer or toothpick to form the body of the snowman.
Take two pretzel sticks and insert one on each side to create the arms.
Cut a small slit in the center of the first marshmallow and insert an orange M&M sideways for the nose. Use a black food coloring marker to draw on the eyes and mouth.
Melt the white chocolate, transfer it to a sandwich bag, and snip off one corner.
Add a little melted chocolate on the back of each M&M and press them onto the snowman to create the buttons. Repeat this step until all snowmen are created. Enjoy!
Storage
Store your marshmallow snowmen at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
