Fun Winter Kid Snack: Snowman on a Stick

November 28, 2010 by Kimberly Danger 1 Comment

How do you top off a fun day of holiday decorating with the kids?  With a fun snack, of course.  Our choice was this Snowman on a Stick.  They are really fast, easy, and the kids can pitch-in with assembly.  What a fun treat to arrange in a bowl for a classroom holiday party, too!  Obviously, you can use whatever you have around your kitchen.  Here is how we made ours:

Ingredients:

  • 3 large sized marshmallows
  • 1 mini sized marshmallow
  • 3 chocolate chips
  • 1 candy corn (or any other orange candy)
  • molasses
  • 1 pretzel stick
  • 1 piece of bubble gum
  • 1 skewer
  • 1 toothpick
  • ribbon or leftover cloth strip (for scarf)

Directions:

  1. In this order, stack 3 large marshmallows, one piece of bubble gum, and 1/2 of a mini marshmallow on the skewer.  (I cut the point off the skewer because my daughter is very young.)
  2. Using the toothpick, poke 3 holes (total) in the lower 2 marshmallows.
  3. Insert the pointed end of each of the chocolate chips in one of the 3 holes.  These are the “buttons”.
  4. Using the toothpick, poke one hole on either side of the middle marshmallow.
  5. Break the pretzel stick evenly in half.  Insert one half into each of the side holes.  These are the “arms”.
  6. Using the toothpick, dig a small hole in the center of the top marshmallow.
  7. Cut the tip off of the candy corn and insert it into the hole.  This is the “nose”.
  8. Dip the toothpick in a small drop of molasses.  Dot the molasses on the top marshmallow to make “eyes”.
  9. Tie the ribbon round the “neck” area, above the arms, for the scarf.

If I were making this to transport (to a class party, for example), I would use a dab of peanut butter as “adhesive”, to help hold all of the parts in place.  What a tasty addition!

Enjoy this fun snack as a special treat!

    How cute! I think I’ll try these for my 6 & 8 year olds classes, minus the peanut butter, their school is peanut free.
