Hi Bold Bakers!
Check out these adorable Marshmallow Polar Bears that are perfect to pop in your Hot Chocolate this Winter. This recipe is just assembly, no baking required.
- For each bear, you’ll start with your jumbo marshmallow for the base. Then cut about 1/2 off a standard marshmallow to use for the polar bear’s muzzle.
- Melt a small amount of white chocolate and put a dab on the cut side of that 1/2 marshmallow piece. Then attach it to the jumbo marshmallow.
- Put a small dab of melted white chocolate on the chocolate candy (where the M&M logo is printed) and place it on the top side of the muzzle.
- Then, put a small dab of the melted white chocolate on the back of each of the candy eyeballs and put them on the jumbo marshmallow face, right above the muzzle.
- Lastly, put a small dab of the melted chocolate on each of the mini marshmallows and attach to the top sides of the jumbo marshmallow for ears. Put into the fridge to set.
Pipe some whipped cream into a mug of hot chocolate. Then pop in the Marshmallow Polar Bear and enjoy!
I don’t know any adult or child alike that would turn down one of these Marshmallow Polar bears in their hot chocolate!
While searching for Winter recipe ideas on Pinterest I came across the Marshmallow Polar Bears made by [url:1]www.momendeavors.com[/url] . I thought they were so adorable I just had to try them. Thanks to Sara from Mom Endeavors for the inspiration.

How cute!!! Love your recipes! Have a Merry Christmas!!
It looks yummy?
Adorbs! How far in advance can you make these? Would they last if stored in a airtight container in the fridge for a few days?
Dear Gemma
Did you not make a marshmallow flower once to put in hot chocolate. There was white chocolate underneath so it opens up when it came in hot chocolade.
Kind regards Charlotte
I just want to say I love you you are awesome I love all your recipes.
Hi mrs Stafford
This is such a great idea!!!!
I was just wondering, did you make the eyeballs or did you buy them?
If you made them, could you show me how?
Thank you ?
Gemma,
So sorry that I completely forgot to thank you for posting this, and also to rate the idea. When I searched for candy eyeballs, I discovered they also make them with lashes, which are really cute. https://www.joann.com/search?q=candy+eyeballs
