Servings: 1 snowflake
Ingredients
- Toothpicks 6-8 per snowflake
- Large Marshmallows 1 per snowflake
- Mini Marshmallows 12-16 per snowflake
Instructions
- Start With The Center. For each snowflake, choose a large marshmallow to act as the center of the snowflake. Hold the large marshmallow so that the circular side (the top or bottom) faces you. (This makes for a prettier snowflake.)
- Build The Spokes. Insert 6-8 toothpicks around the circle (I like to do 8. I place 4 toothpicks in the center marshmallow like the points of a compass, then fill in the gaps with another toothpick in between each for a total of 8.)
- Decorate! Then, decorate each toothpick with mini marshmallows to make your snowflake design! Again, I recommend holding the marshmallows so the circular side faces you for the prettiest effect. For the sample snowflake, I put 2 mini marshmallows on each toothpick, but you can create any design you like!)
- Serve with your favorite cup of hot chocolate, or store in a zip-top bag until you're ready to use them. You can also hang them with string for a fun decoration!
Notes
- Use The Circular Side Of The Marshmallows! For the cutest snowflake marshmallow hot cocoa toppers, I recommend placing and holding each marshmallow with the circular side (the top or bottom of the cylinder shape) facing you. It'll look the most round and neat, which gives a really crisp, pretty appearance to the snowflakes.
