FAQ's
I purchased them online but you could also make them with craft supplies and foam cups.
I like to purchase it online, but you can also find it at your local craft store or even big box stores during the holiday season.
I like to use card stock rectangles because it's thicker, but you can use regular printer paper also.
Things to know
- The best hot chocolate mix to use is the powdered packet of hot chocolate kind that you just add water to. I like Swiss Miss or Ghirardelli.
- You can use any type of Hershey Kisses, but I would recommend not using ones with nuts.
- I love using candy canes as stir sticks, but you could also use regular plastic stirrers instead. Or a mini candy cane if you can find them.
Variations
- Instead of mini marshmallows if you can find snowman-shaped or Christmas-shaped marshmallows they would be a great addition.
- Switch up the hot cocoa mix flavors and give out peppermint flavor along with Candy Cane Kisses.
- Make these into ornaments by adding a ribbon to the top and attaching a gift tag.
- If you don't have the paper cups you could also gift these in a mug or mason jar with a handle for a cute way to give a reusable gift.
- Using bulk hot chocolate milk instead? Add enough mix to make a cup of hot chocolate to cone bags and then close the top of the bag tightly.
Storage
Snowman soup can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 months.
