Snowmen in the Desert

Isn't this snowman so cute?  

 I found this idea from a blog called Cute as a Fox Creations and if you want to see how her Snowman Biscuits turned out, click here.   If you clicked on the website, you are bound to notice our snowman looked a little different then hers---- I guess since we live in the desert, our snowmen have a tan and her's don't (I only cooked them for 6 minutes-- HONEST!)  

Unlike my last project, these ingredients were a little easier to find and required less effort to substitute and the best part-- it was easy.  Gavin loved getting to help me and we had some great laughs while making them.    

Here's what you need: 

- can of biscuits

- pretzel sticks, broken in half

- mini chocolate chips - for the eyes and mouth.  I had to use regular sized ones, but just cut them up

- candy corns for the nose- (we used orange mini m&m's)

- raisins for the buttons

- fruit roll up OR pull apart red licorice for the scarf

Step 1: Spray your pan with Pam. Preheat oven to 450 degrees- maybe that was our problem.

 -Arrange biscuits where they are touching- make sure to press them together so they don't fall apart

Step 2: Insert pretzel sticks into 2nd biscuit for the arms

Step 3: Hand over the raisins to your child and let em place them on the body.  Leave room under the "neck" to place your scarf once the biscuits cook.  

Step 4: Put the chocolate chips on the top biscuit for the eyes, then arrange 4-5 chocolate chips for the mouth.  Make sure to leave room for your nose.

Step 5: Ignore the fact that your child is eating all the chocolate chips you have strategically cut up and grouped according to sizes.  Then, pour yourself a handful and pop in your mouth- they are delicious!

Step 6: Ready to bake!  Leave the nose and scarf off until after you bake these.  Bake for 6 minutes.

Step 7: Place on baking rack until complexity cool.  Insert nose and place scarf on accordingly.

Step 8: Hand over to your child to eat for breakfast and enjoy!!!
