Yield: 40

Prep Time: 20 MINUTES

Total Time: 20 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS

16 oz pkg Nutter Butter cookies
16 oz vanilla almond bark
mini chocolate chips
candy carrot sprinkles
chocolate jimmies sprinkles
red sequin sprinkles
green sequin sprinkles
Red Hots candy (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the almond bark on high power for 1 minute. Stir well. Microwave at 30-second intervals until almond bark is melted and smooth.
For each Snowman Cookie, dip Nutter Butter cookie fully into almond bark, tapping off excess coating. Place onto waxed paper to dry.
Immediately add two mini chocolate chips for eyes. Add one carrot sprinkle for the nose. Use one chocolate jimmie (or more) for the snowman's mouth.
Add two Red Hots candies to the side of the snowman's head for the earmuffs (hold just a moment so that they stick). Add two red and green sprinkle sequins for the buttons.

NOTES

May substitute red M&M's candy for the ear muffs.
Use holiday M&M's or other candy for the buttons.
Use your creativity to outfit your snowman. Using a 1-2 strands of Twizzlers Pull and Peel candy for a scarf would be very cute.

Snowman Cookies are one of those treats that you can make a million different ways.

That’s a great thing because you can use any candies or sprinkles that you have on hand to make your snowman fabulous.

I’m sharing where to find all the candy for these cute treats.

KEY TO SUCCESS #1 – COVER THE COOKIES WITH ‘SNOW’

The first step to making these delightful Snowman treats is to cover the Nutter Butter Cookies with melted white almond bark.

To make things easy, melt the almond bark in the microwave.

Follow the package directions for melting the almond bark.

Most of the time, you can microwave the almond bark on high for 1 minute then stir well.

Continue heating in 30-second intervals until the almond bark is fully melted and smooth.

Fully immerse the Nutter Butter into the almond bark then use a fork to remove it and tap off the excess.

Place the cookie onto a sheet of waxed paper to cool completely.

KEY TO SUCCESS #2 – GIVE MR. SNOWMAN SOME PERSONALITY

One of the fun things about putting these Snowman Cookies together is giving their faces a little personality.

THE SNOWMAN’S EYES

The Snowman eyes are made from two mini chocolate chips.

Place the eyes on the snowman’s face, paying attention to the direction that the points on the chocolate chips are facing.

You can make your snowman look up or to the side just by how you place the eyes.

THE SNOWMAN’S NOSE

The Snowman’s nose is a tiny carrot-shaped candy sprinkle.

You can find carrot sprinkles at your local grocery store or at a craft store.

I found the carrot sprinkles in a Holiday Reindeer Sprinkles mix at Wal-mart through the Wal-mart Grocery Pickup service.

You can also look for carrot-shaped sprinkles in the Easter sprinkles section.

The carrot sprinkles are often included in the Easter Bunny sprinkles mixes.

THE SNOWMAN’S MOUTH

Mister Snowman’s mouth is made from chocolate jimmies sprinkles.

Sift through the sprinkles to find ones that are curved up like a smile.

Or down like a frown. Or straight across like a scowl.

You can also use several bits of the broken jimmies to make it look like a coal mouth like the snowman in the middle on the bottom row in the photo below.
