how to draw on food: hot cocoa stirrers

Another one in the category of super-easy-last-minute. And a great li'l gift idea, too, packaged with a mug and hot cocoa.

how to make hot cocoa stirrers

you will need:

marshmallows

candy canes

edible writers*

*I prefer Americolor Gourmet Writers or FooDoodlers Fine Line pens. Buying the sets is best, but you will only need blue, brown, black and red.

step one: skewer your marshmallow
Break off the hook part of the candy cane and stab the marshmallow with the broken end. You can make a hole first with a skewer or toothpick if you like.

step two: draw your designs
Follow the instructions below to draw the designs. Or, make your own. A snowman face would also be cute. Or write "dunk me."
