- 12 squares NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Refrigerated Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar Dough
- 12 NESTLÉ® BUTTERFINGER® or CRUNCH® Jingles, unwrapped
- 12 pretzel checkerboard snaps or mini pretzels for hat base
- 2/3 cup prepared white frosting
- 24 large marshmallows, divided
- 12 pretzel sticks for arms, broken in half
- NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Morsels for eyes and buttons (a heaping teaspoon needed)
- 12 small orange candies or orange decorating gel for nose
- Thin-string licorice, various colors, cut into twelve, 7-inch pieces for scarves
TO MAKE HATS, ADHERE Jingles to pretzel snaps with frosting. Set aside.
TO MAKE SNOWMEN, INSERT 2 pretzel sticks into each side of 12 marshmallows to create arms on base of snowman. Spread a heaping teaspoon of frosting onto center of each cookie; top with snowman base. Press down lightly. Spread additional frosting on top of each snowman base. Top with remaining 12 marshmallows. Dip orange candies and mini morsels into frosting and add noses, eyes and buttons to snowmen. For scarf, tie each piece of licorice loosely around neck of snowman using frosting as glue, if necessary. Let both hats and snowmen bases stand for 20 minutes to set frosting and make snowmen stable.
PRIOR TO SERVING, adhere hats to snowman head with frosting. If snowmen need to set up more, lean them against a glass or can to set.
And the best is that the kids could do it all by themselves, and that they had a blast doing it. Our neighbor friend said, “I like coming over here. You guys always have so much fun. I love making these.” Of course we let her take home the snowmen that she made. She was very proud of her snowmen and shared them with her family for dessert.
- 1 package (16.5 ounces) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Refrigerated Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar Dough
- 1/3 cup ready-to-use white frosting
- 20 (5 1/4-inch) WONKA SweeTart Candy Canes
- NESTLÉ and WONKA assorted Holiday Candy
- Edible white glitter (optional)
PLACE whole bar of dough on prepared baking sheet. Allow to soften for 5 to 10 minutes. Using fingertips, pat dough gently to form an 11 x 8-inch rectangle.
BAKE for 18 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool completely. Gently slide cookie onto cutting board. Trim edges of rectangle as needed.
CUT cookie into 4 x 2-inch rectangles, or to about the length of the candy canes you will be using. (Cut in half lengthwise and you should have 2 long rectangles that are 4 inches wide. Cut each long rectangle into 5 pieces. This should give you ten 4 x 2-inch rectangles.) Use about 1 teaspoon frosting on backside of cookies to attach candy canes (1 teaspoon per candy cane should do). Let stand for 30 minutes or until set. Once set, turn the sled over so the candy canes are on the bottom.
SPRINKLE sled with glitter (to look like snow), if desired. Fill sled with candies.
Such cute ideas! So creative 🙂
SUPER CUTE IDEAS!
Those pictures are fantastic number one, number two; you all did a fantastic job with this tasty craft! The finished project is amazing! I’m tackling a boxed gingerbread house today, so kudos to you for doing this from scratch!
Those little snowmen put a smile on my face!!!

The timing on this is perfect: we’re doing our holiday baking on Sunday and I am on the hunt for kid-friendly ideas. Thanks!
I love that village. My boys would love to create one, but I fear it would be bare within a day or two.
I love that village too. That is a lot of fun for the whole family. Happy holidays
Your kids looked like they were having a blast!
That is all so cute! I love baking at Christmas time!
I love the sleighs!!! What a great gift. 🙂
Oh those are so adorable and definitely Delicious!!! 🙂
Adorable! I love crafting/creating and baking with my kids this time of year. I think memories of making things this time of year are so much more important than the gifts under the tree (just don’t tell them!) Great job using all the best Nestle classics! I wanted to lick my computer screen.
OH my goodness. I am hungry just looking at all of this! What fun ideas to do with older kids.
Love the sled!! What a great way to spend time with your kids!!
Those are entirely too cute! I especially love the trees.
That’s amazing! I love it. When my little ones are older i’m definitely doing this. We love baking but I don’t think S’s attention would hold to make the whole village 🙂
Super adorable. I have to pin this!
Looks like SO much fun!! 🙂
What great ideas! I love festive crafts that the kids can help with, especially when they are edible!

My husbands co-workers love me this time of year. I love to bake with the kids but none of us like eating sweets here so he takes it to work. Those are such cute thins you made I am going to attempt to make some.
What awesome ideas! Seriously, even I, craft challenged me, could pull these off! Not to mention my kids would love me for letting them get all messy with tasty treats.
Love the Christmas trees! The kids did a great job!
Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. Thanks for the tips on how to jazz it up for the holidays!
These are just an adorable idea. My kids would love to make these and hand them out to their friends.
Everything here is SO CUTE!!! I look forward to the day that Benjamin is old enough to do things like this! 🙂
I love the snowmen!
