Snowman Eggnog

Special Supplies Needed:

*Globe Shaped Glasses or we used this glasses we found at Wal-mart they were unbreakable for the kids.

*Eggnog

*Mini Marshmallows, to help the whip topping from sinking or melting into the eggnog. We used a handful on top of the eggnog in each glass before adding the whipped topping. Repeat for each snowman glass, optional

*Grey Paper Straws, optional

*Candy Corns for nose, yellow part cut off or other orange candy shape as a nose

*Chocolate Chips, eyes

*Chocolate Chips or Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers for buttons

*Round Tip Decorating Tool

*Coconut for snow, optional

Preparing Snowman Eggnog Glasses

*Glass, use as many as needed

*Melted Chocolate Wafers (follow melting directions on package) or melted chocolate chips are used to make the buttons down the front of the glasses, we made 3 buttons. (We used a round tip decorating tool. We dipped the round end into the melted chocolate and then placed inside the glass making the dot where desired. Repeat for each chocolate button.

*Favorite Eggnog Recipe or Store Bought we used Meadow Gold Light Eggnog or you could use regular Meadow Gold Eggnog (our glasses were on the large size so you might need may need 2 (2 Quart) containers for 6 glasses, but if you add milk or sprite it would go further…

*NOTE: We like to add Almond or Milk to ours it’s a little rich for us. Also note that we added little Sprite or any lime soda will do, it will make the eggnog separate, so if you don’t want this to happen don’t add the lemon lime soda.

*We used Reddi Wip Almond Milk, but Cool Whip would probably hold up better. You need to add this just before serving. Add chocolate chips for the eyes and we used a Candy Corn for the nose to the piled up whipped topping, see pictures.

*Coconut for sprinkling for snow effect

Enjoy!

Snowman Doughnuts

*White Powdered Sugar Mini Doughnuts, like Hostess Donettes 10.5 ounce 20 count or you can use pre-packaged, snowman body 4 doughnuts per snowman

*Powdered Sugar Doughnut Holes, snowballs, use pretzel clear bags with silver twist ties both doughnut holes and bags found at Walmart

*Folded Sandwich Bags, for snowman doughnut body

*Silver/white/Iridescent snowflake wired craft ribbon garland, for Scarf

*Orange Permanent Marker or regular markers for children, Nose

*Black Permanent Marker or regular markers for children, Eyes, Mouth and Buttons

*Permanent Clear Tape.

Place 4 white powdered doughnuts in the bottom of the sandwich bag and stack them from the bottom left side to the right bottom of the sandwich making the snowman body. Wrap around the excess top of the sandwich bag and cut off. Leaving enough to tape to the backside of the snowman body and tape closed. Then with a black marker make charcoal 2 eyes, 5 charcoal mouth on the “head” doughnut and 3 buttons on 3 “body”doughnuts down the front of the sandwich sack snowman. Now use wire snowflake wire or ribbon for the scarf and wrap around the “neck” of the snowman, below the first doughnut which is the head. Repeat for each doughnut snowman.
