FUN FOOD FRIDAY: Hot Chocolate Snow Buddy

Hello, friends! Today we are sharing with you a funny recipe for chilly days!

When outside is cold and snowy, don’t you wish for a cup your favorite hot chocolate? Well, friends, this is no ordinary beverage! In this recipe, the guest of honour is a chilling snow friend!

To make your own Hot Chocolate Snow Buddy, you will need:

a white dinner plate holding a glass of milk, eight pretzel sticks, a spoonful of hot chocolate powder, and four marshmallows

  • 1 Cup of Milk

  • 1 Tablespoon of your favourite Hot Chocolate Mix

  • Marshmallows

  • Pretzel Sticks

  1. Start by mixing hot milk (ask for help from a grown up) with the hot chocolate mix. Once mixed, you can start to build your snow friend.

  2. Use as many or as little pretzels sticks as you need to stick the marshmallows together. (You can taste some too!)

  3. When you are happy with the size of the body, you can start adding the arms, legs, and other details to make your snow friend come alive.

Optionally, you can use gummies, sprinkles and candy for extra details or use an edible marker to add a face.

Once you are happy with your creation, you can place your snow buddy in your cup of hot chocolate. They may dance and bounce in their sweet and warm bath. When you are ready, you can enjoy your delicious creation!
