Make them your own: The materials used are pretty flexible so this idea is just a jumping-off point. They are pretty perfect but no two snowmen are identical. Be creative! Make snow girls or snow pets if you like. Make sure the white candy melts are fluid. If they have hardened too much, microwave them in their parchment paper cones in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Versatile: They’re not just reserved for your classic hot cocoa, though! Enjoy them with your pumpkin spice hot chocolate, gingerbread hot chocolate, salted caramel hot chocolate, or your pumpkin spice latte! They’re so so cute! It’s a bonus treat to enjoy after the drink!

Break off a walnut size piece of green fondant and a pea size piece of red fondant for the hat. Roll into a ball. Take another piece and roll into a thin rope. This is for the rim of the hat. You need one more piece of red for the scarf, roll out with a rolling pin and cut into a strip. Cut the marshmallow in half, horizontally, with a pair of kitchen shears, being careful to cut it evenly.

Since the middle of the marshmallows will be less dry than the top and bottom, the middle will shrink in a little. That’s OK.
