Materials

Hot cocoa powder mix

Mini marshmallows

Mini chocolate chips (optional)

Googly eyes

Red pom-poms

Brown pipe cleaners

Clear piping bags (found at local craft store)

Two-sided tape

Rubber bands or twist ties

Directions

1. Fill your clear piping bag two-thirds to the top with powdered hot cocoa mix.

2. Add mini marshmallows on top of the powdered mix. Also add mini chocolate chips, depending on your hot chocolate preferences.

3. Using either a twist tie or rubber band, securely close the top of the piping bag after adding marshmallows and chocolate chips, leaving some of the bag at the top gathered together.

4. Tightly wrap one brown pipe cleaner over the twist tie or rubber band. Use another pipe cleaner to create reindeer antlers.

5. Make a face halfway down the piping bag by using two-sided tape to gently secure two googly eyes and a pom-pom nose.
