Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store these reindeer marshmallow hot cocoa toppers?

Make sure that you are storing your marshmallow hot cocoa toppers in a very air tight baggie or container. I used a tightly sealed plastic bag to store them, this way they last for about two weeks

What size marshmallows should I use?

Any size would work but smaller marshmallows would make this a whole lot harder. I think using the largest jumbo marshmallows would make the job easier plus I think they look more cute when they cover a good majority of the drink!
