Ingredients

• 50g chocolate or writing icing
• 8 white shop-bought marshmallows
• 4 ginger nut biscuits
• 4 giant chocolate buttons
• 4 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Minis or Rolos
• Icing sugar for dusting

Method

1. Dust a microwavable plate with icing sugar. Put no more than 4 biscuits at a time on the plate, leaving a space between them.
2. Dip 4 marshmallows into a bowl of water and place one on top of each biscuit. Microwave on high for 20 to 30 seconds so the marshmallow melts, then set aside for 5 mins.
3. Using scissors, snip roughly a quarter from the bottom of the remaining marshmallows and stick them onto the biscuits – these are your snowmen heads. You can eat the leftover bits!
4. Melt the chocolate in the microwave and spoon into a piping bag, if using, or use a cocktail stick dipped into the chocolate to dot on eyes, a nose, mouth and buttons.
5. Make your snowmen hats by sticking a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Mini or Rolo on top of a chocolate button, using the melted chocolate to secure the hat together and place the Snowman biscuit on top of the label.
