Holiday Treats for Friends: Snowman Soup
By Gina Bell, East Coast Mommy
Dec 16, 2014
On a cold winter day, is there anything better than a steaming hot mug of hot chocolate? It’s one of my boys’ favorite treats, especially when we have guests.
On a recent day off from school, my boys had some friends over, and everyone made a bag of “snowman soup” (which is actually hot chocolate with some extra treats and a candy cane for stirring).
Aren’t they cute? To make your own snowman soup, you’ll need pouches of hot chocolate, candy canes, chocolate kisses or chocolate chips, and marshmallows.
I found snowman-shaped marshmallows, but regular mini marshmallows work too.
Fill a clear bag with all the necessary ingredients, and tie it up with a homemade tag. My boys and guests made a simple tag using blue cardstock, white paint and markers.
To make your own tag:
1. Cut a tag from a piece of card stock, and punch a hole in the top.
2. Use a marker to write “Snowman Soup” at the top of the tag.
3. Dip a toilet roll in white paint to create the top and bottom of the snowman.
Allow to completely dry.
4. Use markers to add details to the snowman.
Isn’t it a sweet little craft and treat? I think it would be fun to make a whole bunch of bags and have the kids deliver them to the neighbours. They would make fantastic class treats too.
Stay warm... and enjoy your snowman soup.
Happy Holidays!
