Melted Snowmen Cookies
These Melted Snowmen Cookies are fun to ‘build’ using your favorite cookie as a base.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 24 cookies of choice; homemade slice and bake or store-bought
- 16 oz. package of white almond bark such as CandiQuik (use white chocolate chips, or white candy melts if you prefer)
- 12 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
- 24 orange jimmies sprinkles for carrot nose
- 48 mini chocolate chips for eyes
Instructions
- Cut mini Reese’s Cups in half from the wide end and then cut a sliver off the halves of the wide end to make a hat brim; set aside.
- Follow the directions on the almond bark/candy coating package for melting, microwaving until coating is melted and smooth, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Spoon melted candy coating over each cookie to resemble melted snow.
- While coating is wet, add a peanut butter cup half and sliver to create a hat and brim.
- Decorate the face with mini chocolates chips for eyes and an orange jimmie for a carrot nose.
- Allow candy coating and snowman features to set, about 20 minutes.
- Store cookies in an airtight container until ready to serve.
Notes
- I found through trial and error that mini Reese’s cup are easier to cut without crumbling if you leave the foil wrapper on and wide end up, using a serrated knife.
- Alternatively use Reese’s Peanut Butter Bells for the hats for quicker assembly and less cutting.
- I used Nigella’s Christmas Chocolate Cookies as a base for the snowmen.
