Festive Snowman Candy Bark

You’ll love how silly and bright Melted Snowman Bark turns out. It’s perfect for holidays and makes a tasty way to hang out with your family—especially the younger bunch. You get sweet treats and shared laughs all in one go.

INGREDIENTS

• Black and orange cookie icing: You’ll want these for the goofy faces and snazzy carrot noses on each snowman.
• 36 red and green Mini M&Ms: Little pops of color that work as buttons for your frosty pals.
• 1 Twizzler pull and peel (picked apart into strands): These make the band over the earmuffs so the colors look even cuter.
• 6 red and green gumdrops (split in half): These bright halves make every ear look cozy and fun.
• 12 golden Oreo cookies: Every friendly snowman needs a face, right? That’s where these go.
• 1 pound almond bark or white melting chocolate: Melt this down for the creamy, dreamy snow where it all comes together.

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 9:

After it’s set, heat up a knife with hot water, dry it off, and slice the bark into pieces—it’ll cut much easier this way.

Step 8:

Let everything sit on the counter until firm, or toss it in the fridge for around an hour to speed things up.

Step 7:

Draw silly faces with the black icing and pop on a carrot nose with the orange.

Step 6:

Stick gumdrops (halved) along the sides, then lay Twizzler strings over them to finish the earmuffs.

Step 5:

Under each Oreo, line up three Mini M&Ms—these little candies are your snowmen’s buttons.

Step 4:

Pour what’s left of the melted bark in the empty spaces, smoothing it all over to make a flat surface.

Step 3:

Place an Oreo on each blob, press a bit, then spoon more bark over the tops to hide them in the “snow.”

Step 2:

Cover a baking tray with parchment, then spoon out 12 melted white bark piles—these will be the snowman heads.

Step 1:

Melt the almond bark in short bursts (about 30 seconds each) in the microwave, stirring every time, until it’s totally smooth and runny.

Serving and Storage Tips

• This treat stays fresh in a sealed container at a cool spot on your counter for about a week.
• Bring some smiles by wrapping these in colorful bags or boxes if you’re sharing with friends.
• Keep it away from the heat to stop the chocolate from melting or getting sticky.

Helpful Notes

• No almond bark? White chocolate chips melt just as nicely for this.
• Go wild with extras—mix in marshmallows, broken candy canes, or whatever fun treats you like.
• Double-check your chocolate is melted and lump-free so the final bark looks smooth all over.
