Looking for a fun winter treat that takes almost no effort? These Polar Bear Marshmallows are the cutest way to dress up your hot cocoa or dessert table this season. They come together with just a few basic ingredients and are perfect for kids to help make.
You don’t need any special tools or skills to put these together. If you’ve got marshmallows and some candy eyeballs, you’re halfway there. It’s a simple project that turns out way too cute to resist.
Helpful Tips
- Use kitchen scissors to cut the marshmallows more cleanly. Dipping the scissors in a little warm water helps keep them from sticking.
- Melted chocolate chips or store-bought frosting both work great as the “glue.”
- Let the polar bears sit for 5-10 minutes before serving so everything can set up.
