A Great Christmas Dessert Idea

 Here is a great recipe for a Christmas dessert. Kids and adults will love these snowman cupcakes. They are easy to make and something that you can give at any time of day.

 

Ingredients

• Cooled cupcake (baked from your favorite recipe)
• White icing
• Large marshmallows
• Waxed paper
• Pretzel sticks

• Decorators' gel
• Orange slice candy
• Junior Mints
• Thin Mints
• Fruit leather

Instructions

1. Frost a cooled cupcake (baked from your favorite recipe) with white icing.
   
2. Flatten a large marshmallow on waxed paper with the palm of your hand. Cut a second marshmallow in half horizontally, then stack the halves on the first marshmallow to form a torso and head.
   
3. Push a thin pretzel stick down through the snowman (this will help him stand up), then set him on the cupcake.
   
4. Use decorators' gel to create a mouth, eyes, and buttons, then add pretzel stick arms and a wedge cut from an orange slice candy for a nose.
   
5. Accessorize with a candy hat (a Junior Mint secured to a Thin Mint with icing) and a fruit leather scarf.
