Another one in the category of super-easy-last-minute. And a great li’l gift idea, too, packaged with a mug and hot cocoa.
how to make hot cocoa stirrers
you will need:
*I prefer Americolor Gourmet Writers or FooDoodlers Fine Line pens. Buying the sets is best, but you will only need blue, brown, black and red.
step one: skewer your marshmallow
Break off the hook part of the candy cane and stab the marshmallow with the broken end. You can make a hole first with a skewer or toothpick if you like.
step two: draw your designs
Follow the instructions below to draw the designs. Or, make your own. A snowman face would also be cute. Or write “dunk me.”
how to draw a snowflake:
1. with a blue pen, draw and “X”
2. draw a line through the “X”
3. add “V”s and dots to the spokes as desired
how to draw a cup of cocoa:
1. draw and fill a brown oval
2. outline a black circle around the oval, leaving some white space at the top
3. draw the rest of the mug
4. draw the handle (two backwards “C”s)
5. draw the steam (curlycues)
how to draw brr:
1. um, write “brr” with red

I love these!
Awe, this is so cool! Too bad it's summer here in Argentina and marshmallows are not so easy to find.
These crack me up! What fun! Thanks for sharing … good timing too because we just got a little snow in PA!!
I am SO going to do this!
This is so cute. My question is what if you want to make one so that children can eat it? Are they edible pens? Let me know!
I reread your article and now see that they're edible pens! Unbelievably cute!
I love hot coco! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
These are so cute! I'd love to try this on homemade marshmallows.
Wow super-cute and utterly adorable! What ideal presents to take when visiting over Christmas.
Fantastic idea, thanks for sharing. I wonder if my local Hobby Lobby carries the pens – they should. They have a huge isle of cake stuff.
You are all the coolest!! Thank you CraftCrave! Catalina, craft stores will likely have food coloring pens, probably the Wilton FoodWriters. The ones I use (Americolor of FooDoodler) you can get at amazon or other shops online.
I love your marshmallow art. I remember seing it for the first time a maybe a year ago. This is such a good idea. I love to use candy canes as lollipop sticks. I made some caramel popcorn balls and put a candy cane stick and have myself a lollipop.
You are so cute. Love these!
What an ingenious idea~! I posted it on my blog, hope that is okay? thanks!
You're very welcome! I sure love seeing all your ideas!
This would be really easy for new bakers. I will give it a go.
