How to Make Melted Snowman Chocolate Bark

Here are the ingredients you need to make this melted snowman chocolate back, plus step by step instructions for how to make it.

Ingredients

8 oz (about 1 ½ cups) bright white candy melts
8 Reese’s Minis candies, cut in half
32 candy eyeballs
16 orange sprinkles
16 pretzel sticks, broken in half
48 Mini M&Ms (you’ll use 3 of the same color for each snowman, so plan accordingly when picking them)

Step by Step Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper so the candy doesn’t stick.

2. Cut each Reese’s Mini in half to make the hats, and break the pretzel sticks in half for the arms.

3. Place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each round, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

4. Drop a spoonful of melted candy onto the parchment and use the back of the spoon to spread it into a rough oval shape. Work with only 3-4 at a time so the chocolate doesn’t harden before decorating.

5. Position half of a Reese’s Mini near the top of each oval to create the snowman’s hat.

6. Place two candy eyeballs just under the hat, then press an orange sprinkle slightly below for the nose.

7. Stick a pretzel piece on each side to look like arms.

8. Arrange three Mini M&Ms of the same color down the center for buttons.

9. Let the chocolate set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until firm.

Once the chocolate hardens, you will have a plate full of silly snowmen ready to share. They’re easy to pass around at a party, or pack up for gifts. Simple, tasty, and a little goofy – exactly the kind of holiday treat everyone enjoys.
