Ingredients
  

  • 6 donuts
  • 6 marshmallows
  • 7 ounces white chocolate melts
  • 2 ounces black chocolate melts
  • 6 red sour strips
  • Orange candy color

Instructions
 

  • Place the white chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, stir, then continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
  • Scoop a few spoonfuls of the melted white chocolate into a smaller bowl. Stir in a few drops of orange candy color until evenly tinted, then transfer to a piping bag and secure.
  • Using the same method, melt the black chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Once melted, transfer to a piping bag.
  • Lay out parchment paper. Dip each donut top into the melted white chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place them on the parchment paper to set.
  • Place one marshmallow in the center of each donut. Turn them in different directions so each snowman has a unique look. Let set for about 10 minutes.
  • Snip small tips off the piping bags. Pipe black dots for eyes and a smile, then use the orange chocolate to add a little carrot-shaped nose.
  • Wrap each snowman with a red sour strip “scarf.” Secure by piping a little melted chocolate at the back to hold in place.
  • Once everything is dry, arrange your melted snowmen on a serving plate and enjoy!

Notes

Work Quickly: Candy melts set fast, so have your piping bags and decorations ready.
Secure Marshmallows: If marshmallows slip, use another dab of melted chocolate to glue them in place.
Vary the Faces: Pipe different expressions to make each snowman look unique and playful.
Use Quality Donuts: Fresh donuts make a big difference in taste - avoid stale ones.
