Ingredients for Snowman S’mores

- Orange candy melts or orange icing (for the nose)
- Melted chocolate (for attaching decorations)
- Pretzel sticks (for the arms)
How to Make Snowman S’mores
- Prepare the Base:
- Place half of your graham cracker squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Set the remaining crackers aside for later.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- Melt your milk chocolate either in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, or over a double boiler on the stove.
- Once the chocolate is melted, spread a layer on each graham cracker square on the baking sheet.
- Assemble the Snowmen:
- Place two marshmallows on top of each chocolate-covered graham cracker to create the body and head of the snowman.
- Use a toothpick or small spoon to dot melted chocolate onto the marshmallows for the snowman’s eyes and buttons.
- Melt orange candy melts or use orange icing to draw a small carrot nose on the top marshmallow.
- Add Pretzel Arms:
- Carefully press pretzel sticks into the sides of the bottom marshmallow to create the snowman’s arms.
- Top with the Other Graham Crackers:
- Take the remaining graham crackers and place them on top of the marshmallow to complete the s’more.
- If you want the snowman’s face and decorations to be more visible, you can leave the top graham cracker off and serve it as an open-face snowman s’more!
- Broil or Microwave:
- If you want your snowmen to be gooey, you can broil them for a few seconds or microwave them for about 10 seconds to soften the marshmallow.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Your snowman s’mores are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them warm and gooey for the best experience.
Tips for Making the Best Snowman S’mores
- Use Melting Chocolate for a Smooth Finish: Melting chocolate makes decorating easier, as it helps everything stick better.
- Customizable Decorations: You can get creative with how you decorate your snowmen! Use mini M&M’s, sprinkles, or even tiny licorice pieces to personalize each snowman.
- Microwave Trick: If you don’t want to broil, simply pop your s’more in the microwave for about 10 seconds to get the marshmallows perfectly soft and gooey.
