Enjoy your festive White Chocolate Snowman Treats!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound white chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips (for buttons and eyes)
- 1 cup orange candy-coated chocolates (for noses)
- 8 pretzel sticks (for arms)
- 1 cup fondant or red candy melts (for scarves)
- 1 tube black decorating gel (for smiles)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ganache:
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
- Add the chopped white chocolate to the cream. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
- Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Chill the mixture for about 2 hours until it is firm enough to scoop.
- Form the Snowman Bodies:
- Using a melon baller or spoon, scoop and roll the ganache into balls. Create two different sizes for the snowman’s body and head.
- Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill again if they become too soft.
- Assemble the Snowmen:
- Melt a small amount of white chocolate to act as glue.
- Attach the smaller ball (head) to the larger one (body) using the melted chocolate.
- Use pretzel sticks for arms, inserting them on the sides of the larger ball.
- Decorate:
- Attach mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons with melted chocolate.
- Use orange candy-coated chocolates for noses.
- Roll out fondant or melt red candy melts to create scarves, wrapping them around the neck.
- Use black decorating gel to draw smiles.
- Final Touches:
- Chill the snowmen until firm, about 30 minutes.
Notes
- To prevent the ganache from melting while rolling, keep your hands cool and dry.
- Use a toothpick to help with the precise application of melted chocolate while decorating.
- If the ganache becomes too soft while working, pop it back in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
