My husband and I went to a concert last night so a friend came over to babysit. He gets the prize for best babysitter, because he came prepared to do a fun food project! He had a bag of marshmallows, a tube of black icing, Jelly Bellys, Airheads, and pretzel sticks Add in one excited 6 year old and you get these adorable snowmen!
The pretzels are used to hold the marshmallows together and also for the arms. A Jelly Belly is used for the nose, and you can cut them in half to make eyes or buttons. A strip of airhead makes a delicious scarf. The final touch is putting on buttons with just a drop of black icing. I can’t wait to make these myself. Thanks for the idea Jim.
Keep it thimble!

How very thoughtful of your friend!!! Bet your son was thrilled!!!!
Yes, he was. I think he enjoyed eating them as much as making them.
These are so cute. They would make great place cards for holiday meals. Where do these great baby sitters come from?
They would be very cute for holiday table treats. Why don’t you pick up some supplies and we can make some at Xmas :)?
Tasty
Very tasty! You could also make them out of gourmet candies.
Maybe Jim should make these next time the guys get together!
Good idea, but I have the stockings that hold candy canes that grandmother made and I thought that would be fun. I don’t think we are going to have much time to make anything on Monday. Let’s remember this for next year.
