MARSHMALLOW CANDY SNOWMEN

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Melt the white candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl. Once melted and smooth, glue 3 marshmallows together by spreading a dab of melted coating between them. Repeat until you have 12 snowmen, each made up of 3 marshmallows.
• Place the snowmen on a baking sheet and refrigerate briefly to set the coating.
• Carefully push a skewer into each snowman, making sure the skewer's tip stays hidden inside the marshmallow.
• To make each snowman's scarf, slice the Fruit by the Foot into a narrow strip about 4 to 5 inches long and wrap it around the snowman's neck. A dab of candy coating will secure the scarf.
• To make the nose, cut the gummy orange slice into small triangles and glue a triangle into the middle of each snowman's head with a drop of candy coating.
• To make the arms, cut the pretzel sticks in half and dip the ends in the melted coating. Push the 2 pretzel pieces into opposite sides of each snowman's middle section.
• Melt the chocolate candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl. Using a toothpick (or an extra skewer), draw each snowman's eyes, mouth, and buttons with candy coating. Chill all of the snowmen in the refrigerator.
• Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. To make each snowman's hat, drop a teaspoon of chocolate candy coating onto the baking sheet, then tap the sheet against the counter; the coating should spread into an even disc, about 1 inch in diameter.
• Press 1 peanut butter cup upside down onto each chocolate disc, then chill in the refrigerator until set.
• Remove the snowmen and hats from the refrigerator. To finish your snowmen, dab chocolate coating onto the bottom of each hat, then press it firmly onto a snowman's head.
• Once the candy coating has set, your snowmen are ready to serve and eat.
