These are a fun Holiday treat for kids of all ages!
All you need is cupcakes, White frosting, lollipop skewers, large marshmallows, pretzel sticks, melting chocolate and some writer/gel frosting.
To make the hats: Follow the instructions on your melting chocolate then make a 2" circle of chocolate on a sheet of wax paper (make as many circles as you have cupcakes), then roll a marshmallow in the melted chocolate. After the marshmallow has been covered place it in the center of one of the chocolate circles. Cool in refrigerator until chocolate is hard (about 15 min). Remove from fridge and using a sharp pointed object (skewer, meat thermometer etc) poke a hole in the bottom center of the hat. Decorate the hats after the Snowman have been fully assembled.
Next assemble your snowmen! Take 1 lollipop skewer and 2 marshmallows, skewer the marshmallows then add a hat leaving enough room at the bottom of the lollipop skewer to stick into the frosted cupcake.
Then the real fun begins! Use the pretzel sticks for the arms and poke them into the top edge of the bottom marshmallow. to make the "Coal" buttons I squirted some black icing on a plate and used a lollipop stick to dip it in and dot the buttons, eyes and mouth. I used an orange gel icing to make the carrot nose, and red and green to decorate the hat! You could also use fruit rolls to make a scarf for an extra touch! Have fun and get creative!
