Here's what you need:

Large white marshmallows

Fruit roll ups or something like it

Mini chocolate chips or other candy for eyes and nose

Thin pretzel sticks

Chocolate Kisses, mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or Rolos (for hat)

White candy melts (find them at craft stores like Michael's or JoAnn's)

Lollipop or popsicle dowels from craft store

Here's what you do:

Stick three marshmallows on lollipop dowel but don't let the top one poke through.

Cut Fruit Roll Up into long, thin strip to wrap around "snowman's" neck.

In microwave safe bowl, melt candy melts according to package directions. Spoon into a plastic baggie and cut a tiny hole in one corner.

Use melted candy like "glue" for the eyes, nose, hat and scarf if needed.

Poke pretzels in for arms and use candy melt "glue" to secure them. Let melted candy set and your ready to eat or serve at a party!
