Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Cookie Cups Assembly Instructions:
- Break your mini candy canes into smaller pieces and squeeze then into the side of the marshmallow. If you are having a hard time getting it to stay, push it in further or use vanilla/white frosting to get it to stay. We were able to just push it in further.
- Once the frosting is cool, put it into a ziploc bag and push it to a corner, then clip the tip of the corner. This will make it easier to use the frosting.
- Once the cookies are cooled, pipe a small amount of frosting onto each cookie.
- Place a marshmallow on top of the frosting.
- Pipe a small amount of frosting onto the top of the marshmallow.
- Add sprinkles to the top of the frosting on the marshmallow.
- Serve your Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Cups with a cold glass of Florida Milk...and be sure to save some for Santa!
