- 3Pipe a tiny bit of melted chocolate onto the bottom of two marshmallows and the stick the 3 marshmallows together. Place them onto a plate. Then pipe the snowman’s eyes, nose, mouth and buttons with the chocolate. Place another tiny bit of chocolate on the snowman head and stick his hat to it. Roll a small piece of orange icing into a carrot shape to make his nose and place it onto top of the chocolate. Then put into the fridge for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
