Instructions
- Decorate Cookies: Place a dot of white icing on the edges of each Maravillas cookie. Sprinkle red and green confetti sprinkles onto the icing, alternating colors in a rotating pattern to create a festive decoration around the cookie edges.
- Attach Marshmallows: Apply white icing to the bottom of each Jet-Puffed marshmallow, then press it onto the center of each decorated cookie to secure it in place.
- Ice Marshmallows: Squeeze chocolate cookie icing on top of each marshmallow and spread it evenly using the icing tip or a toothpick to create a smooth chocolate topping effect.
- Add Marshmallow Bits: Place 3 to 4 small marshmallow bits on top of the chocolate icing-covered marshmallows to add texture and enhance the look of frothy cocoa foam.
- Attach Candy Canes: Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut the tops off the mini candy canes. Attach the candy cane tops to the side of each marshmallow by applying a small amount of white icing on the ends as glue.
- Finish with Tree Sprinkles: Secure a tree-shaped sprinkle on the front of each marshmallow by using a dab of white icing, completing the festive look of each cookie cup.
