Sharing is caring!

My son has a holiday party at school tomorrow. I’m the lead mom. I needed a fun craft and snack for the party. So I thought…  Why not combine the two?  I’m having the kids make Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer rice krispy treats! I’ll have to share it on the blog after it’s all over. But for TODAY there’s this snowman recipe to share with you. These Snowman Rice Krispies Treats are also super easy for kids to make so perfect for the school holiday party you are planning!

Easy To Make Snowman Rice Krispies Treats

INGREDIENTS FOR SNOWMEN…  Think candy.  Lots and lots of dandy candy!
1/2 cup Wilton white chocolate melts
3-4 strings black licorice (cut into eight 4 inch strips)
8 Orange Sprees
16 brown M&M’s
16 gummy Life Savers
Wilton black icing gel

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE SNOWMEN
1.  Using a circle cookie cutter, cut out 8 snowman faces from your pan of cooled Rice Krispies.
2.   In a microwave safe bowl, melt the Wilton chips for 40 seconds. Stir until melted. (Or use this melting pot HERE.)
3.   Spread a thin layer of the melted white chocolate on top of each round Rice Krispies treat. (Save any extra white chocolate for the assembly process).
4.   Immediately firmly press a licorice strand onto the top of each snowman to resemble the top of ear muffs.
5.  If the white chocolate on top of the Rice Krispies treats has hardened,  you may have to microwave your remaining white chocolate for an additional 10-15 seconds.
6.  For each snowman, dip one side of 2 lifesavers into the chocolate and place on the snowman to resemble the ear muffs.
7.   Dip one side of 2 M&M’s into the chocolate and place on each snowman for the eyes.
8.   Dip each candy Spree into the melted chocolate and press firmly into each snowman for the nose.
9.   Using a Wilton black icing tube, pipe  small dots to form the mouths.
