Snowman Snacks
Ingredients/Supplies
Mozzarella cheese sticks (individually wrapped)
Black Sharpie
Colored paper or cardstock (for the top hat)
Ribbon or string (for the scarf)
Scissors and tape/glue
Instructions
- Draw the Snowman’s Face: Use the black Sharpie to draw two eyes, a smile, and buttons on the plastic wrapper of each cheese stick. Add an orange nose if you like (with another marker or small sticker).
- Make the Top Hat: Cut out small top hats from colored paper or cardstock. Tape or glue the hats to the top of each cheese stick.
- Wrap the Scarf: Tie a small piece of ribbon or string around the “neck” of each cheese stick, securing it into a bow or knot for the snowman’s scarf.
- Display Your Snowmen: Arrange them in a cute “snowy” setting, like a white platter or bowl filled with cotton balls, shredded paper or marshmallows.
Santa Banana Treats
Ingredients/Supplies
Bananas
Strawberries
Small marshmallows
Red M&M’s
Chocolate sprinkles
Wooden sticks or lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them in half. Push a stick through the flat end of each banana half so it stands upright.
- Add the Santa Hat: Place a small banana slice on top of the standing banana as the hat’s base. Add a strawberry (pointed side up) on top, and finish with a small marshmallow.
- Decorate the Face: Stick two chocolate sprinkles for eyes and a red M&M for the nose onto the front of the banana using a dab of melted chocolate or peanut butter as glue.
