Ingredients
  

For the snowmen
  • 36 marshmallows large
  • 12 lollipop sticks 6-inch
  • 12 pretzel sticks broken in half
For the coating
  • 16 oz white chocolate melting wafers
For decorating
  • 48 mini chocolate chips
  • 12 orange jimmies

Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 deep microwave-safe 1-quart measuring cup
  • 1 microwave

Method
 

Assemble the snowmen
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Thread 3 marshmallows onto each lollipop stick, leaving about 1 inch of stick exposed at the bottom as a handle.
  3. Insert 1 pretzel half into each side of the middle marshmallow for arms.
Melt the coating
  1. Put the melting wafers in a deep microwave-safe 1-quart measuring cup and microwave at 50% power in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes total.
Dip the snowmen
  1. Dip each marshmallow stack into the melted wafers, spooning coating over any bare spots.
  2. Let excess coating drip back into the cup, then set the snowman on the lined baking sheet.
Decorate the snowmen
  1. While the coating is wet, press 2 mini chocolate chips onto the top marshmallow for eyes.
  2. Press 1 orange jimmy onto the top marshmallow for a nose.
  3. Press 2 mini chocolate chips onto the middle and bottom marshmallows for buttons, then repeat with the remaining snowmen.
Set the coating
  1. Refrigerate the baking sheet for 15 to 20 minutes, until the coating is firm.

Notes

For neat dipping, use the deep measuring cup and spoon coating over any bare spots. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; freezing is not recommended. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free white chocolate melting wafers.
