I love these holiday themed marshmallow dippers! They are so much fun to make and then even more fun to dip inside of your hot chocolate! For our hot chocolate, we made a special recipe which you can find here, it’s Eggnog Hot Chocolate yum! For our Marshmallow dippers we made a snowman, a gingerbread man, and a reindeer! These were so easy you make a whole batch of these within an hour. So long as you have your little elves (your kids of course or whoever wants to join in) to help with the creation process. 
To accompany these cute dippers we paired them with an Eggnog Hot Chocolate Recipe. Which you can head over here to find. It’s so rich and delicious, and oh so wonderful to drink on Christmas eve. It’s also super convenient since you can make this recipe in your slow cooker.
Gingerbread Men Tip: Let the royal icing/ white chocolate dry completely and then dip them into the water QUICKLY and then into your gingerbread seasoning mix you made. Be quick and careful because they men are true to their story where they would like to run run as fast as they can off of your sticks. Just be careful and have fun.
