Tips:
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best results. Stale marshmallows will not hold their shape as well.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup. If it gets too dark, it will be bitter.
- When dipping the marshmallows in the chocolate, make sure to coat them evenly. You can use a spoon or a fork to help you.
- If you want to add decorations to your snowmen, such as eyes, noses, or hats, do so after the chocolate has hardened.
Conclusion:
Peppermint marshmallow snowmen are a fun and festive treat that is perfect for the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little creativity, you can make your snowmen unique and special. So get creative and have fun!
