Marshmallow Snowman Kit and Tutorial

Ingredients (per Marshmallow Snowman kit):

3 Marshmallows
1 Candy Corn
2 Mini Chocolate Chips
3 Chocolate Chips
2 Small Pretzel Sticks
1 Tablespoon White Frosting

Additional Materials Needed:

Sandwich Bags
Portion-size Snack Size Bags
Stapler
Tape
Scissors
Printable (best results if printed on white cardstock)

Directions to assemble kits:

1. For each snowman kit, place required amount of all ingredients except frosting and candy corn in a sandwich bag.

2. To make candy corn look like a carrot: cut off the yellow and white sections. Roll orange candy between two fingers, and pinch end to form a tip. Place candy corn “carrot” in the bag with other ingredients.

3. Spoon one tablespoon of white frosting into a snack size bag. Cut off the top of the bag and fold down twice and tape closed. Place small bag of frosting in each sandwich bag kit.

4. Print and cut out kit labels and fold in half horizontally.

5. Cut off the top of each sandwich bag kit. Place a printed kit label over the top of the bag and attach it by stapling the sides.

Directions to build snowman:

1. Place a thin layer of white frosting on the tops (flat side) of two marshmallows. Using one frosted marshmallow as the base (frosted layer facing up), place the second frosted marshmallow on top (again frosted layer facing up). Complete the snowman body by placing the unfrosting marshmallow on top.

2. Stick a pretzel stick into each side of the middle marshmallow, angled upwards.

3. Place a thin layer of frosting onto each mini chocolate chip and place on the top marshmallow for eyes.

4. Push the “carrot” nose into the center of the top marshmallow.

5. Place a thin layer of frosting onto each regular sized chocolate chip and stick them down the center of the snowman as buttons.
