Steps:

• Thread marshmallows on lollipop stick to resemble a snowman.
• Attach peanut-butter cup to wafer with half of the peanut butter. Place on top of snowman for the "hat," securing with remaining peanut butter. Insert pretzel sticks into middle marshmallow for the "arms."
• Cut fruit roll into desired length for the "scarf;" wrap around snowman. Decorate with candies as desired.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the graham cracker crumbs in a shallow dish and set aside. Spear the marshmallows with the cocktail picks.
• Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Dip the marshmallow sticks in the chocolate, one at a time, and let any excess drip off. Roll in the graham cracker crumbs and place on the prepared baking sheet. Serve immediately. Or if you'd like the chocolate to set, refrigerate about 1 hour before serving.
• Line a baking sheet or dish with parchment paper. Stir the gelatin into 1/3 cup water.
• Place the granulated sugar, 1/3 cup water and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring, and cook until the sugar dissolves and the temperature reaches 240 degrees F. Carefully pour the sugar mixture into the gelatin mixture, stirring constantly. Let sit for 5 minutes.
• Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. With the mixer on medium-low speed, pour the sugar-gelatin mixture into the egg whites in a slow, steady stream. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Pour the mixture into 8-by-8-inch baking sheet or dish and refrigerate until stiffened, about 3 hours.
• Turn the marshmallow out onto a surface sprinkled with powdered sugar; peel off the parchment. Cut into 4 cubes and insert a bamboo stick into each.

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate- or white chocolate-almond bark (or both) in a double boiler (melt separately if using both). Next, melt the blue and orange candy melting wafers separately in double boilers. Stir them all until they are nice and smooth. These will be your marshmallow coatings.
• One by one, dip the very tip of each lollipop stick into one of the coatings. Then stick that end of the stick into a marshmallow until it's not quite all the way through. Repeat with the rest of the marshmallows, standing them up as you go.
• Next, roll each marshmallow in the coating of your choice, and then tap the stick gently on the side of the double boiler to get rid of the excess. Using your fingers, sprinkle the topping of your choice all over the coating. For a rocky road version, dip in the chocolate and roll in the chopped pecans. For a s'mores version, dip in the chocolate and roll in the graham cracker crumbs. For a cookies and cream version, dip in the white chocolate and roll in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies.
• Set the pops, stick-side up, on a piece of waxed paper, or stick them into florist foam (used to make flowers stand up).

Steps:

• Simmer candy wafers in the top of a double boiler, stirring occasionally (do not let them stiffen). Thread 4 marshmallows on each stick. Cover a square of plastic foam with aluminum foil.
• Hold a marshmallow stick over the pan and spoon the melted coating over it, covering it more or less completely. Hold over a piece of wax paper and sprinkle with edible decorations -- the zanier and more colorful the better. Insert the stick into the foam. Repeat with remaining marshmallows. Refrigerate until coating hardens.
