Step 2: Make the Snowmen

Using an orange food writer, make a nose on 4 – 5 white wafers. Then, add sets of three white wafers, one having the orange “nose”, on the chocolate. Next, break the pretzel sticks in half to make the arms for each snowman.

Step 3: Add Sprinkles

Once the snowmen have been made, sprinkle the bark with holiday sprinkles and allow it to set for 30 minutes. Slice, share, and enjoy.
