How to make Snowflake Hot Chocolate with simple Marshmallows:

The first step to making your Snowflake Hot Cocoa is inserting seven toothpicks into a large marshmallow.  Helpful tip : I found it easier to keep the snowflake in the mug by not including an eighth toothpick.

Next, I put two mini marshmallows on each toothpick to continue creating the snowflake look.

The fun part of this project is that just like snowflakes, there are no two alike!  You can create all types of patterns.

Once you have your marshmallow snowflakes made, cut a small slice into the large main marshmallow right where the 8th toothpick “should” go with your kitchen scissors.
