Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large marshmallows
- 3 pieces Mini marshmallows
- 6 pieces Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 6 pieces Candy-coated chocolate buttons (e.g., M&Ms)
- 6 pieces Pretzel sticks
- 3 pieces Orange candy (such as a candy corn or orange Tic Tac)
- 1 tube each Edible gel icing (black and red)
- 3 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Start by laying out your ingredients and tools on a clean work surface.
To build the body of the snowman, stack two large marshmallows vertically and secure them together using a toothpick. Make sure the marshmallows are aligned properly.
For the snowman's head, place a third large marshmallow on top of the stack and secure it with the same toothpick. Push the toothpick in so it’s not visible but holds the marshmallows together.
Break the pretzel sticks in half to create the arms. Insert one half of a pretzel stick on each side of the middle marshmallow as arms.
Place a mini marshmallow on top of the snowman’s head to act as a hat or decorative touch. Use a dab of gel icing to secure it if needed.
Add the snowman’s face by using black gel icing to create two eyes and a smiling mouth on the top marshmallow. Use the orange candy as the nose by pressing it gently into the marshmallow.
Attach three candy-coated chocolate buttons vertically down the middle marshmallow for the buttons. Use a small dab of gel icing to make them stick in place if necessary.
For added detail, pipe a small red scarf around the neck area using the red gel icing.
Repeat the steps to create two more Frosty the Snowman treats.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. Enjoy your whimsical Frosty the Snowman creations!
