A land of carrots…

we were completely floored by an expensive gift given to us by one of our acquaintances for Christmas, so we decided to do something elaborate.

Yes, create their own little winter wonderland.

The gift came from a family of four, so we decided that four little snowmen would do the trick!

Aren’t they too cute!?

Jammy Marshmallow Snowmen:

(per snowman)

1 chocolate cupcake (we put spoonfuls of jam in ours, just as a little surprise for the tongue)
Icing
Coconut
4 large marshmallows
2 chocolate chips
1 smartie
a piece of red sour candy (the long kind you can purchase for 0.25$ a slice at the convenience store).

Level off the top of the chocolate cupcake.

Spread with icing.

Now take three large marshmallows and roll to form one sphere. fix the fourth on top of the larger sphere (you can roll it too to form a more circular shape).

Stick the marshmallow part of the snowman onto the cupcake, and sprinkle snowman base (cupcake with protruding icing) with coconut.

Fix the chocolate chips on the head as eyes, and cut off a strip of the red candy for a scarf. Cut off a smaller triangle-shaped strip of the red candy and roll to form a nose. Fix the Smartie on the middle portion of the snowman as a button.

Adorable, isn’t it!?

…. hope they’ll like it! (they packaged very nicely too!)
