Marshmallow Snowman S'mores

Fun in the snow is a staple around here and hot cocoa and a gooey treat are a great way to warm up afterwards. Earlier this winter, with holiday and winter treats gracing blogs and magazine pages everywhere, I was reminded of this fun Marshmallow Snowman I first put together last year. 

Keep the ingredients for these Marshmallow Snowman S'mores on hand for a special "snow day" or after school snack. They're guaranteed to leave you wanting s'more! (no campfire required)

Supplies Needed for Microwave Snowman S'mores

• Large Marshmallows
• Chocolate Chips
• Graham Crackers
• Pretzel Sticks (Arms)
• Candy Corn or Orange Candy Melts (Snowman Noses)

You’ll also need a microwave oven and microwave-safe plate.

Assembling Your Marshmallow Snowman S’mores

To make the standing snowman, start with a full-size graham cracker. Cut two marshmallows in half. Place three halves on the graham cracker sticky-side down. Microwave until the marshmallows puff. (Watch very carefully. In our 1100-watt microwave, it took about 12-13 seconds.)

Add broken pretzel sticks for arms. Chocolate chips make up the eyes and buttons, and I used a sliver of orange candy melt for the nose. Set aside to cool, if you can resist the gooey goodness:)

To make the snowman face, place remaining marshmallow half, cut-side down on a graham cracker square. Microwave until the marshmallow puffs. I put these in slightly longer to get a nice round snowman face (maybe 14 seconds in our microwave). Add a piece of candy corn for the nose and a couple chocolate chips for the eyes.

Store Marshmallow Snowmen in a single layer in a covered container. I’ve had success making these s'mores a day ahead if serving a crowd.

Enjoy!

Make a tray of these Marshmallow Snowmen and some easy Rudolph S’mores and grab a Frosty the Snowman or Rudolph dvd for a fun Christmas Classics movie night with the kids! Or, plan a winter sledding or skating party and serve up a tray of Snowman S’mores alongside a toasty hot cocoa bar.
