Instructions
Set the oven to 170C (340F). Cup cake papers or a smallish muffin tin ( lined or greased)
Choose a tin that is not too deep to bake the snowmen in.
Put the butter and chocolate into a bowl and melt in a micro wave or double boiler till soft. stir to melt
Beat sugar and eggs till light and fluffy and white. Add the cooled chocolate mixture into the eggs with the almond and cocoa and mix well to combine. Spoon the mixture into the papers or muffin tins. bake 15-20 minutes or till just firm to touch.
To make the Marshmallow snow man
Put the marshmallows into a jug or bowl with the cream. Blitz for 30 seconds in a micro wave and then stir to combine. Cool slightly. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon onto each brownie. Cool
Meanwhile make tiny balls for the eyes with the liquorice and the tiny hats with this liquorice as well. Make the little carrot shaped orange noses with slices of orange lollies rolled into little carrots. Rest each piece of liquorice hat on a half a marshmallow. Let these dry out before storing in an airtight container till needed. They will last for about 4-5 days . You can keep in the fridge in a warm climate, then bring to room temperature
