Spooky Snowmen Hot Cocoa Treats with The Elf on the Shelf®

Nothing says autumn in the UK quite like a steaming mug of hot chocolate on a crisp October night. This festive Elf on the Shelf idea lets your Scout Elf whip up Spooky Snowmen toppers that make every cup of cocoa extra magical.

It’s the perfect Halloween treat for British families, whether after trick-or-treating, during half-term, or while warming up on Bonfire Night.

Materials:

Your favorite hot cocoa
Large and medium-sized marshmallows
Orange and black icing
Toothpicks

Instructions:

First, your Scout Elf will stir up your family’s favourite hot chocolate recipe, whether made on the hob, with a kettle, or using a hot chocolate maker.
Next, they’ll gather marshmallows and decorate them with black and orange icing to give each one a spooky snowman face. Some may even get little arms for added character!
Then, they’ll carefully use toothpicks to stack the marshmallows into mini snowmen and stand them upright on a plate.
Finally, your elf will place the spooky snowmen on top of mugs of hot chocolate, ready to surprise children with a delicious Halloween-themed treat.
