Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
Using a pair of kitchen scissors, cut each marshmallow in half. Unwrap each peanut butter cup and use a sharp knife to cut the peanut butter cups in half. Break pretzel sticks in half.
Melt white candy melts in a glass bowl according to package directions. I usually microwave the candy melts in 30 second increments and stir in between. You want to be careful not to overcook or burn your candy melts - it can happen quickly. You’re looking for a nice “pour” consistency off the spoon.
When candy melts are ready, spoon about 2 tablespoons of melted candy onto wax paper, making a “melted snowman” shape. I made a circle and then pushed out some of the sides to make more “melted” look.
Carefully set your half marshmallow near the center of the melted snowman. Add a Reese’s Peanut Butter cup half in place for the hat. Then add three mini M&Ms for the buttons, and two pretzel sticks halves for arms.
Once your melted snowman has dried and hardened, use the black cookie icing to make the eyes and the orange cookie icing to draw a small pointy triangle for the nose.

Cookie icing hardens when dried to room temperature, making these treats stackable. If you use cake icing or gel, the eyes and nose may smear when touched or stacked.

Before melting your candy melts, be sure to check the expiration date. Old candy melts may become unworkable.

Look for cookie icing in the baking section of your local grocery store. It can usually be found near the frosting in squeezable tubes.

When assembling your snowmen, work quickly as the candy melt base begins to harden within a few minutes.

To ensure a smooth and evenly spread candy melt base, you could tilt the baking tray side to side.

If the candy melts harden before you've finished assembling your snowmen, they can be gently reheated in the microwave.

For a fun twist, let the kids decorate their own snowmen. You can prepare all the different parts and then let little hands assemble their own creative versions.
