This is really a simple recipe for making snowmen candy using while chocolate wafers. The features added to the snowmen are simple and are also edible.
We will start by melting the white chocolate wafers.
Then we will drop spoonfuls of the melted white chocolate onto a prepared sheet and add the features. Once the snowmen have set, we can enjoy or share the tasty treats.
Ingredients needed to make edible melted snowmen.
- White chocolate candy melt wafers. Vanilla almond bark can also work in this recipe.
- Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Cups. The should be sliced lengthwise in half.
- Marshmallows. The marshmallows should also be slice in half (a scissors is sometimes best here).
- Small red and green candies such as Mini M & M's.
- Royal or Cookie Decorating Icing. On my snowmen, orange nose and black eyes.
- Pretzel Sticks, used for arms.
How to make Easy Melted Snowman Bark,
Step One: prepare.
Prep a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper (parchment can be used but, it may stick). Slice your peanut butter cups and marshmallows in half.
Step Two: make the snowmen.
Melt the wafers according the directions on the packaging. I use a microwave-safe bowl and melt mine in the microwave, stopping to stir every thirty seconds. Once the candy melts have melted, carefully use a tablespoon to drop the melted chocolate on to the prepared sheets. My snowmen were made using two tablespoons per snowman.
Step Three: decorate and finish the snowmen.
Carefully set your half marshmallow near the center of the melted snowman for the head. Next, add a Peanut Butter cup half above the marshmallow for the hat. Then add three mini M&Ms for the buttons, and two pretzel sticks halves for arms. Once your melted snowman has dried and hardened, use the black cookie icing to make the eyes and the orange cookie icing to draw a small pointy triangle for the nose.
Expert Tip 👉 Cookie icing hardens when dried, making these treat stackable for storing. If you use cake icing or gel, the eyes and nose may smear when touched or stacked.
