Chocolate Dipped Rudolph Marshmallows

Please share

These Rudolph the marshmallow reindeer are so cute and the perfect accompaniment to your mug of hot cocoa. Make them for friends, neighbors, teachers and yourself.

Chocolate dipped marshmallows decorated to look like rudolph next to mug of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and sprinkles.

 I don’t know about you, I have really been enjoying hot chocolate week.  These cute little Rudolph marshmallows are a perfectly giftable treat to go along with all of the hot chocolate.  

They are perfectly snackable too if you just can’t give them away.

Any respectable Rudolph needs some antlers.  Just break a mini twist pretzel and stick the broken sides out and you are ready to go.  

But what should we use to hold them together?  Chocolate, of course!

Next the marshmallows get dipped in chocolate and placed on their antler base.  A red hot nose lets you know who is leading the way this Christmas.

You could certainly use candy eyes, but I just piped on some black royal frosting that I had already made to do Rudolph’s snowman marshmallow counterpart.  

In just a few quick and easy steps you are ready to go.  Aren’t they just the cutest?!
