Fancy Nancy's Snowman Kit - Valentine Version

*Another possibility I thought of

for your Snowman Kit.*

THE VALENTINE SNOWMAN KIT

I thought you could use regular marshmallows

with heart cut-outs (thanks Martha Stewart)

Are you feeling soft-hearted this Valentine's Day? Reach for some marshmallows and transform them into confections of affection. Start by greasing a heart-shaped petit four cutter or aspic cutter with vegetable oil or cooking spray. Cut several marshmallows in half horizontally, and then press the cutter into the center of each one. Float the marshmallows and the cutouts on hot chocolate.

Ingredients

• 4 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons plus one teaspoon unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
• 4 tablespoons finely chopped or shaved semisweet chocolate

Directions

1. Bring all ingredients to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until chocolate has melted (do not let boil). Pour into mugs, and serve.

 

or heart-shaped marshmallows

(some stores carry them this time of year

for Valentine's Day-ish things)

and add conversation hearts

instead of Nibs for the coal.
Use 'heart' fabric for your scarf,

a heart shaped tag and you're set.

If you really wanted to go all out

you could use white almond bark

and color it hot pink or red

for the arms. 
*Remember to use paste food coloring
because liquid food coloring changes
the bark's texture.*
**And if you really, really wanted
to wow everyone, make your own
home-made marshmallows.**
