Looking for a fun holiday treat that doubles as a cute craft? These Polar Bear Marshmallows are as adorable as they are tasty. Made with fluffy marshmallows, candy melts, and a few simple decorations, they’re easy to put together and guaranteed to bring smiles to any winter gathering. Perfect for topping hot cocoa, adding to a dessert tray, or packaging up as gifts, they’re a sweet way to spread holiday cheer.

The best part is how easy they are to put together. You only need marshmallows, candy melts, and a few candies or sprinkles for the face and ears. They’re fun for kids to help decorate, and they always bring a festive touch to Christmas and winter celebrations.

Helpful Tips

Use jumbo marshmallows. Bigger marshmallows give you more space to decorate and make the polar bears look extra cute.
Stick with candy melts. White candy melts coat smoothly and help the decorations stay in place.
Get creative with details. Mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, or even black icing can be used for the ears, nose, and eyes.
