Chelli Tips:

When I did this for the first time I tried to make a complete circle using 2 halves. However, I found that using ONE side and then closing up with extra cotton candy worked better for me. If you have hot hands, the cotton candy may stick to your hands; just wash and dry off fingers between each snowman if that happens :)

I did not add the hot chocolate mix in the sphere.

How You Do It:

  1. Take your cotton candy and press into the mold. Make a well or hole in the center fill with sprinkles, marshmallows or whatever you like!

  2. Close up the back with more cotton candy.

  3. Remove from mold.

  4. Add your decorations: eyes, nose, mouth and etc. ( I used a VERY little amount of water to attach eyes and nose from the kit I had). If you do not have the kit you can use: edible markers or use royal icing, you can use other store bought candy or whatever you can fine that would resemble the “face” you want. Just make sure it's edible ;)

  5. Keep dry till ready to use! Once you are ready, place your snowman in a cup of hot chocolate, stir and enjoy!

Note: Since these are made of cotton candy, they should be used or consumed within 3-4 days. After that, they may start to break down, so it’s best not to prepare them too far in advance.

Use Cases:

You could use this for a kids party, teacher gifts, stocking stuffers or just something fun to do with the kids or grandkids :)
