Method

  • step 1

    First make the marshmallow snowman. Skewer the marshmallows together with a cocktail stick - cut off any of the stick that protrudes from the top. Use a little of the icing pen to stick a chocolate button and peanut butter cup to the top of each marshmallow stack, then draw on a face and 3 dots for buttons. Plait 3 strawberry laces and tie around the neck for a scarf. Stick the snowman to a cookie with a little more icing, then set aside to dry for a few mins.

  • step 2

    Mix the cocoa and Horlicks together in the bottom of your jar. Put the snowman on top, then scatter around the mini marshmallows. Screw on the lid, tie with a ribbon and a gift tag with the following instructions: Warm 300ml milk in a pan. Remove the snowman from the jar and add the milk. Stir until smooth and chocolatey, then enjoy, with your marshmallow snowman for dunking.

I found it easier to put a blob of melted chocolate in the bottom and stick the cookie to that as otherwise I found my snowman moved around. Then I added my hot chocolate powder around the snowman. Plus it looks like it's been snowing on him so bonus!

The Snow Globe Hot Chocolate is such a treat, I love it, wonderful for Christmas day. I checked out this site before signing up, I'm very happy I did, there are so many things to try and cook, great site. I hope to find more things like the Snow Globe, I want to learn more about putting stuff…

So I may be a bit late with this, but I have just discovered the 'add to my shopping basket' function - what a great idea. I have often added to a shopping list but never gone directly into my supermarket shop! Brilliant! Thankyou.

This idea is fab and simple! Made as a raffle prize for the school fair. Didn't bother with the cocktail stick, melted chocolate did the trick (and avoided any accidents!). I found that Yorkie buttons and a Rolo were perfect for the hat. I was concerned that the snowman would be a little top heavy…

These are amazing. Used a cocktail stick which held the marshmallows together perfectly. Then stuck on rolos for hats with melted choc. Didn't need the buttons. Used the Yorkie buttons as a base to stick the snowman onto as they are huge. I was worried the biscuit would go stale. My daughter…
