Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 snowmen
Ingredients
- 1 package Nutter Butter cookies
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup black icing (for eyes and buttons)
- 1/4 cup orange icing (for noses)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for buttons)
- 1/2 cup pretzel sticks (for arms)
Instructions
- Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 15-second intervals and stirring between each interval until smooth and completely liquid.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully coat each Nutter Butter cookie completely in melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place dipped cookies on prepared baking sheet.
- Allow white chocolate-coated cookies to set at room temperature for 5-7 minutes until chocolate begins to harden but is still slightly soft.
- For each snowman, position two Nutter Butter cookies vertically, with one slightly overlapping the other to create a snowman shape.
- Using black icing, carefully add two small dots for eyes and three small dots for buttons on each snowman.
- Create a small triangle using orange icing in the center to represent the carrot nose.
- Break pretzel sticks in half and insert them on the sides of the cookies to create snowman arms.
- Refrigerate the snowmen for 10-15 minutes to help the chocolate and decorations set completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer preservation.
Tips
- • Work with slightly cooled melted white chocolate for the best coating consistency • Use a fork or dipping tool for smooth, even chocolate coverage • Keep a toothpick handy for precise icing details • Ensure your workspace is cool to help chocolates set faster • For cleaner decorating, use squeeze bottles or piping bags for icing • Refrigerate briefly to speed up setting time • Let kids help with decorating for a fun family activity • Store in a single layer to prevent accidental snowman destruction
