Jolly Marshmallow Snowmen Recipes

JOLLY MARSHMALLOW SNOWMEN

Steps:

• Take one cake pop stick and thread on a marshmallow, narrow end on first. Thread on a second marshmallow, wide end on first so the the two wide ends meet in the middle. Thread a third marshmallow on sideways so the narrow round end makes the snowman's face.
• Knead the white fondant icing and divide into 6. Shape each one into a rough mound and stick the snowmen into these bases.
• Take three strawberry laces and twist together. Tie around a snowman's neck and then trim off the excess with scissors. Repeat for the other snowmen.
• Using a little royal icing stick a Pontefract cake on each head. Using a little black writing icing, stick a Liquorice Allsort on top of each Pontefract cake.
• Pipe on two eyes using black writing icing. Using royal icing, stick a Tic Tac on each face for a carrot nose. Stick mini chocolate beans on the bodies as buttons.
• Using royal icing, stick four mini marshmallows on each snowman to represent arms. Stick a candy cane or pretzel stick to the end of one of each of the snowmen's arms, attaching the bottom end to the icing mound.
• Take a little royal icing and thin with a few drops of water. Brush or dab on the base and sprinkle over the crushed sugar cubes. Leave to set.

MARSHMALLOW SNOWMEN

Steps:

• For hats, spoon six 1/2-teaspoon rounds of candy coating onto waxed paper. Dip six marshmallows in remaining coating and place in the center of each round; let stand until set., On each skewer, thread two plain marshmallows and one hat. Use decorating icing to draw faces and arms.

MARSHMALLOW CANDY SNOWMEN

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Melt the white candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl. Once melted and smooth, glue 3 marshmallows together by spreading a dab of melted coating between them. Repeat until you have 12 snowmen, each made up of 3 marshmallows.
• Place the snowmen on a baking sheet and refrigerate briefly to set the coating.
• Carefully push a skewer into each snowman, making sure the skewer's tip stays hidden inside the marshmallow.
• To make each snowman's scarf, slice the Fruit by the Foot into a narrow strip about 4 to 5 inches long and wrap it around the snowman's neck. A dab of candy coating will secure the scarf.
• To make the nose, cut the gummy orange slice into small triangles and glue a triangle into the middle of each snowman's head with a drop of candy coating.
• To make the arms, cut the pretzel sticks in half and dip the ends in the melted coating. Push the 2 pretzel pieces into opposite sides of each snowman's middle section.
• Melt the chocolate candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl. Using a toothpick (or an extra skewer), draw each snowman's eyes, mouth, and buttons with candy coating. Chill all of the snowmen in the refrigerator.
• Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. To make each snowman's hat, drop a teaspoon of chocolate candy coating onto the baking sheet, then tap the sheet against the counter; the coating should spread into an even disc, about 1 inch in diameter.
• Press 1 peanut butter cup upside down onto each chocolate disc, then chill in the refrigerator until set.
• Remove the snowmen and hats from the refrigerator. To finish your snowmen, dab chocolate coating onto the bottom of each hat, then press it firmly onto a snowman's head.
• Once the candy coating has set, your snowmen are ready to serve and eat.

JOLLY SNOWMAN CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. Make cake batter as directed on box for 24 cupcakes. Stir in 1/4 cup candy sprinkles. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about two-thirds full).
• Bake 14 to 19 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Place 1/4 cup frosting each in 3 small bowls, and tint 1 bowl blue, 1 bowl green, and 1 bowl red with food colors. Place 1 tablespoon vanilla frosting in small bowl, and tint brown with food color to desired color. Spoon brown colored frosting into small resealable food-storage plastic bag; partially seal bag, and set aside.
• On each cupcake, spread 2 teaspoons of the remaining vanilla frosting to cover two-thirds of cupcake; place 2 candy eyeballs, and 1 orange triangle for nose. Cut off tiny corner of brown frosting bag, and squeeze bag to pipe a half circle under nose for a smile. For hat, spread generous teaspoon of blue frosting on cupcake, and immediately sprinkle with white sprinkles on colored edge to make brim. Place 1 marshmallow for pom pom. Repeat frosting for hat and sprinkles with remaining cupcakes and colored frostings (use photo as guide).
• Store loosely covered at room temperature.
