Instructions
How to make the Snowman Stirrers
If you’re using white hot chocolate powder, follow the instructions on the packet. If using real white chocolate, grate about 50g per serving into a saucepan filled with milk. Heat over medium-low, stirring gently until the chocolate melts and combines with the milk. Remove from the heat just before it begins to boil.
For an extra festive twist, add a couple of drops of peppermint extract into the hot chocolate. Stir to mix thoroughly.
If you have a milk frother, use it to give the hot chocolate a frothy texture. This is an optional step but adds a touch of café-style creaminess to the drink!
Time to Serve!
Pour the white hot chocolate into mugs, and place a Snowman Marshmallow Stirrer on top. Kids will love watching the snowman slowly melt as they stir it into their drink, adding a sweet, marshmallowy flavour to their hot chocolate.
