how to make Marshmallow Snowman Stacker Treats

Ingredients:

• 18 jumbo marshmallows (3 per snowman)
• 1 cup melted white chocolate or icing (to glue them together)
• 12 mini pretzel sticks (for arms)
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips or candy pearls (for eyes and buttons)

• 1/2 cup melted dark chocolate (for smiles and extra detail)
• optional: powdered sugar (for a ‘snowy’ effect)

Directions:

   Start by melting the white chocolate in a bowl. You can use the microwave or a double boiler. Once melted, prepare a flat surface to build your snowmen.

3. Add Arms
   Insert a mini pretzel stick into each side of the middle marshmallow to create arms.

4. Create the Face and Buttons
   Use mini chocolate chips or candy pearls for eyes and buttons. Press them into the top marshmallow for the eyes and into the middle marshmallow for buttons.

5. Add the Nose
   Stick an orange mini candy into the top marshmallow for the nose.

6. Make a Scarf
   Cut the fruit gummy belt or sour strip into smaller pieces and wrap them around the neck area of the middle marshmallow.

7. Facial Details
   Using melted dark chocolate, pipe a smile on the snowman’s face. You can also add extra details as desired.

8. Snow Effect (Optional)
   If you want a snowy look, sprinkle some powdered sugar over the snowmen before serving.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular marshmallows instead of jumbo marshmallows?
Yes, but smaller marshmallows will create smaller snowmen. You may need to adjust the number of marshmallows used.

2. What can I substitute for the melted white chocolate?
You can use icing or even yogurt melts as a substitute for melted white chocolate.

3. How can I make these snowmen more stable?
Ensure you use enough melted white chocolate to securely glue the marshmallows together. You can also press the bottom marshmallow firmly into a tray or plate to prevent it from tipping over.
