How To Make Cute Marshmallow Snowman
For this recipe to work well with our family, we take shifts on what each of us can do. I really like to add on the frosting, so that is something that I tend to handle. (the higher the mound, the better!)
The children love to add on the marshmallows and make the little faces on them. And then as we’re eating our way through the bag of M&M’s, we’ll all add on the “buttons” as well.
The best part about making these homemade cupcakes? Your little ones can help decorate them however they would like! No two snowflakes falling from the sky are alike, which means that no two snowmen are every alike, either.
This means that the more varied the decorations, the better! Go crazy and get creative with these adorable snowmen cupcakes! They are seriously the perfect holiday treat!
Once you make them once, you’re going to have created a fun family tradition just like we have!
These are perfect for a fun weekend treat or great for a Halloween classroom party, too. You can also cut out a step and just purchase premade cupcakes as well. This makes it turn into more of a decorating party than a baking party and everyone always loves that!
Don’t forget to let the kids add their own fun toppings to these snowmen as well. You can add shredded coconut for the look of snow, or even have mini marshmallows for the look of snowballs, too!
There are so many fun ways that you can decorate these adorable snowman cupcakes! The kids are certain to have a blast and won’t have any problem making them and enjoying every single bite!
