Lindsay Ann's tiny mugs of hot chocolate were the inspiration for my Cup o' Cocoa Cake. I find it very fun making small things big, and big things small:)
Aren't theycute adorable!?!
Mini Mug Pops (Dollhouse Bake Shoppe)
Ingredients:
Regular size marshmallows
Chocolate melts, chocolate chips or chocolate frosting
Peppermint Lifesavers (Lindsay Ann used a marshmallow to fashion the handle, but I had these Lifesavers on hand, and decided to use them.)
Assorted sprinkles
White jimmies (not pictured on plate)
Craft sticks
Royal icing or white frosting
Directions:
1. With a small, sharp knife, make a tiny slit in the bottom of the marshmallow and insert the stick about half way up.
2. Using a toothpick dab a tiny bit of royal icing onto the sprinkles to adhere to the front of the mug for decoration.
3. With a serrated bread knife, gently cut the Lifesavers in half with a sawing motion, dab a bit of royal icing on the cut ends and adhere it to the side of the mug. You may want to hold it there for a few seconds to make sure it holds.
4. Melt the chocolate and with a decorating bag and tip add a circle of the chocolate to the top of the marshmallow, not all the way to the edge (leave a rim).
5. While the chocolate is still wet, add the white jimmies (break into pieces) to the top of the hot chocolate as the marshmallows.
6. You may also add a tiny bit of white icing as whipped cream on top of the chocolate (I am going to do that the second time around), and a candy cane sprinkle too:)
These little cuties can be used for stirring your real mug of hot chocolate, or just eat as a treat.
Thanks for all of the inspiration, Lindsay Ann!

I'm having an adult candy making class at Avon Grove Library on Dec 11th (we had a pre-teen one in July) and this will be a BIG HIT addition to our assorted filled chocolates! Soooooo, SO cute!
ReplyDeleteI made these but used red string licorice for the handles and little green trees for the front side decorations and they turned out real cute.
