Instructions

Make the Rice Krispie Treats:

Melt butter in a large pot over low heat. Stir in marshmallows until smooth and melted. Mix in Rice Krispies cereal until everything is coated.

Shape and Cool:

Press the mixture into a greased 8x8 inch pan. Let cool completely, then cut into 9 squares or rectangles.

Make the Icing:

In a bowl, mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth and spreadable. Add a drop of peppermint extract if you want a minty flavor.

Decorate the Snowmen:

Spread icing over the top of each square. Add 2 black sprinkles for eyes, 1 orange jimmy for the nose, and 5 black jimmies for the smile. Place 3 colored sprinkles down the center for buttons.

Add Accessories:

Cut sour ropes in half and tie around each snowman to make scarves. Attach two starlight peppermints on the sides as earmuffs, using a little icing as glue if needed.

Notes

For extra detail, pipe a small strip of icing between the peppermint candies to make a headband for the earmuffs.
Dust with powdered sugar or coconut for a snowy look.
Wrap individually in clear treat bags for gifting or party favors.
Switch up scarf colors and buttons to make each snowman unique.
