Transform your hot chocolate with a touch of whimsy and warmth by adding a snowman marshmallow.
Ingredients:
  • 107.50 gm caster sugar
  • 9.00 gm powdered gelatine
  • 20.00 gm boiling water
  • 2.20 gm vanilla extract
  • 18 licorice allsorts
  • 20g dark chocolate, melted
  • Hot chocolate, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar with 1/2 cup of cold water. Stir and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the syrup slightly thickens. Remove from heat. In a heatproof jug, sprinkle gelatine over boiling water. Whisk with a fork until dissolved, then add to the sugar syrup. Whisk to combine and let it cool for 5 minutes.
  • Prepare a slice pan by greasing it and lining the base and sides with baking paper. Use an electric mixer to beat sugar syrup and vanilla on high speed until the mixture thickens and becomes fluffy, about 5 minutes. Quickly spoon the mixture into the pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 1 hour until firm.
  • Slice 2 allsorts into 3 x 4mm-thick slices each. Cut each slice into 8 thin strips. Trim the short ends of the strips to create a fringe. Cut out 3 orange squares from the remaining allsorts. From the squares, cut out 24, 3mm x 5mm triangles for the carrot noses. Cut out 24 black squares from the remaining allsorts. Use a 4.5cm snowman cookie cutter to cut out 1 hat shape from each black square.
  • Transfer the marshmallow to a chopping board using the overhanging baking paper. Cut out 24 snowman shapes from the marshmallow using a 4.5cm cookie cutter.
  • - Dip one end of a bamboo skewer into decadent melted chocolate and delicately create eyes on each snowman with it. Press one triangle to form a nose for each snowman. - With a touch of melted chocolate, securely attach a hat to complete the look on each snowman. - Mimicking the picture as your guide, lovingly attach two allsorts strips with a hint of melted chocolate to fashion a charming scarf for each snowman.
  • Gently float 1 or 2 adorable snowmen in every mug of steaming hot chocolate. Enjoy right away.
