Take melting chocolate and turn hot chocolate cocoa balls into filled MELTING SNOWMEN. Adorable little snowmen that can include cocoa, instant coffee, peppermint or marshmallows that melt in a hot cup of milk or cocoa, a perfect holiday recipe!
Melt down white chocolate, 30 seconds at a time until smooth and creamy. Using either a basting brush or your fingers, paint chocolate into the semi-circle silicon mold, up all the sides, covering the entire mold.
Place silicon mold in freezer to set, about 5-10 minutes.
Carefully peel semi-circle chocolate balls, set on a plate.
Heat up a skillet on LOW and place one half of the chocolate semi circle onto the pan for about 1 second until the edges are smooth, fill with marshmallows, cocoa or peppermint, place second semi-circle on the pan for a second and then carefully press the two sides together. This makes a seamless chocolate ball.
Set filled chocolate balls on a plate and continue with the rest of the balls. Place in freezer to set seams for about 5 minutes before moving on.
Heat up some melting chocolate, use a dab of melting chocolate to press two balls together (like a snowman) and set back in freezer to completely set snowman together.
Meanwhile, warm up some chocolate into a squeeze bottle and once melted, squeeze a bit of chocolate into the shape of Snowman Hands onto parchment paper.
Use the same squeeze bottle to add eyes and a mouth directly on the snowman ball and place back in freezer to set.
Once snowman eyes and mouth are set, place a bit of melting chocolate on the sides of the snowman and put chocolate snowman hands on the side and place back in freezer to set. All of this requires a delicate touch as your body heat will start to melt the chocolate until its set.
Making the Chocolate Nose
Warm up just a tad bit of white chocolate melts in a small glass bowl and then use Color Right orange dye and mix.
The chocolate will cool quickly into a paste and you can form the orange chocolate into mini noses.
Melt the Snowman in Coffee or Cocoa
Once your Snowmen are done, its time to make them MELT.
Drop MELTING SNOWMEN in a hot bit of coffee or cocoa and watch them melt into the cup, giving back a delicious white chocolate taste and any of the inside fillers that flavor your holiday cup.

Notes
The key to this project is patience and moving quickly with setting chocolate. Its best to have a plate ready to place chocolate balls on and put back in freezer between steps to quickly set chocolate.
