1 package white chocolate chips
Chocolate covered caramel candies
Candy eyes
Mini chocolate covered candies (any color)
Orange sprinkles
Pretzel sticks

Instructions:
Instructions:
Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
Melt white chocolate chips in a bowl according to package instructions.
Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate onto the baking sheet.
Place snowman decorations onto the chocolate while warm to create the appearance of a melted snowman. Use chocolate covered caramel candies for hats, candy eyes, any color mini chocolate covered candies for buttons, orange sprinkles for noses and pretzel sticks for arms. Helpful hint: Work quickly, so the chocolate doesn’t harden before you’ve placed all the toppings.
Allow the melted chocolate to harden into “bark” for at least 30 minutes by placing it in a fridge or freezer.
(This step requires adult supervision.) Using a butter knife, cut the bark into individual pieces. To keep the appearance of the entire snowman, try to cut pieces where all the toppings are together. However, don’t worry if the bark breaks unevenly!
Enjoy this yummy treat with friends while celebrating a sweet holiday season!
