These Polar Bear Marshmallows are the cutest winter treat you’ll make this holiday season. With just a few simple decorations, fluffy marshmallows are transformed into adorable little polar bears that are perfect for hot cocoa toppers, party platters, or edible gifts.
The best part is how easy they are to put together. You only need marshmallows, candy melts, and a few candies or sprinkles for the face and ears. They’re fun for kids to help decorate, and they always bring a festive touch to Christmas and winter celebrations.
Helpful Tips
- Use jumbo marshmallows. Bigger marshmallows give you more space to decorate and make the polar bears look extra cute.
- Stick with candy melts. White candy melts coat smoothly and help the decorations stay in place.
- Get creative with details. Mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, or even black icing can be used for the ears, nose, and eyes.
