Gluten-Free Marshmallow Snowmen

These little Gluten-Free Marshmallow Snowmen are an adorable treat for kids.

There are a few ways to make these snowmen: I’ve seen them attached to cookies and cupcakes as well. I made these last year for Spud’s kindergarten class and they were a big hit! I chose to take my chances with wooden skewers because there were dietary needs in the classroom that wouldn’t allow me to use any products with a certain protein or gluten.

The good news is that nobody poked their eyes out☺
