Frosty Snowman Pretzels with Candy Clay Scarves

Published: Nov 13, 2016 · Recipe by: Beth · This post may contain affiliate links.

You will have so much fun building these cute Frosty Snowman Pretzels with Candy Clay Scarves in the warmth of your kitchen this winter. Each salty and sweet treat is perfect for Christmas or any snowy day.

You will have so much fun building these cute Frosty Snowman Pretzels with Candy Clay Scarves in the warmth of your kitchen this winter. Each salty and sweet treats is perfect for Christmas or any snowy day.

Back in 2013, I made my first batch of these cute winter-themed treats. My original Pretzel Snowmen were a huge hit and now that I’m making videos I just had to make one showing you how to make these pretzels.

One of the things that I wanted to change, however, was how I created the scarves. The original scarves were made using fruit roll-ups. I cut strips of red and green fruit roll-ups and wrapped them around my snowmen.

The fruit-flavored scarves looked great and kids loved them, but I noticed many adults peeling them off before eating their pretzel snowmen.

So, when I decided to make these snowmen pretzels for the video I decided to use candy clay instead.

Candy clay tastes like chocolate, and in this case, it tastes like white chocolate so it goes so nicely with the white chocolate pretzels. Kids and adults will love the taste of these salty and sweet treats.

I made all my scarves red just to save time, but you can dress your snowmen in any color candy clay scarf you like. Just make different batches of candy clay or make white and color that using a variety of colors.

Have fun building these cute, white chocolate, Frosty Snowman Pretzels with Candy Clay Scarves in the warmth of your kitchen this winter. Each salty and sweet treats is perfect for Christmas or any snowy day.

You can learn all you need to know about working with candy clay in my new book, Candy Clay Creations which is now available in print and on Kindle from Amazon, as well as, a PDF ebook.

Enjoy watching the video tutorial and have fun making your snowmen pretzels.

 

You can also see a step-by-step tutorial using a different technique to make these pretzels on my old blog post featuring my original pretzel snowmen.

Servings: 48
Author: Beth Jackson Klosterboer
Ingredients
  • 12 ounces red candy melts
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 12 ounces white candy melts, melted
  • 96 pretzel rings
  • 240 mini chocolate chips
  • 48 orange candy coated sunflower seeds
  • black food coloring marker
Instructions
  1. Heat red candy melts in a microwave safe bowl for two 30 second increments, stirring after each.
  2. Heat for another 30 seconds, then let the bowl rest in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Remove and stir vigorously until melted.
  4. Cool, stirring often, to 91 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. Stir in the corn syrup and blend just until combined.
  6. Pour out onto plastic wrap.
  7. Wrap and set aside to firm up for several hours.
  8. When ready, remove from plastic wrap and knead until the candy clay is pliable.
  9. Roll out red candy clay really thin.
  10. Cut 3/8 inch by 7-inch strips from the candy clay.

  11. Set one strip on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

  12. Pour melted white candy melts into a disposable pastry bag or zip-top bag.

  13. Snip off the tip of the bag.
  14. Pipe a small mound of candy in the center of the red candy clay strip.

  15. Set two pretzel rings, touching, over the white candy melts.
  16. Pipe a small amount of white candy where the pretzels come together just to help "glue' them together.
  17. Pipe white candy into the center of both pretzel rings.
  18. Set two mini chocolate chips and one orange sunflower seed in the top pretzel forming the snowman's eyes and nose.
  19. Set three mini chocolate chips in the bottom pretzel forming 3 buttons.
  20. Add another small amount of white candy melts in between the two pretzels then overlap the two ends of the red candy clay strip forming the snowman's scarf.
  21. Freeze for 3-5 minutes just until the white candy melts harden.
  22. Remove and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.
  23. Use a black food coloring marker to create a smile formed by 5-7 dots.

    You’re getting pretty snazzy these days with your how-to do video and now even Christmas music. 🙂 The video is how I always picture you – making your wonderful creations at lightening speed.

    Thanks for the candy clay vs fruit strip idea for the scarves. You’re always observing and improving, although none of your ideas really need improvement.

      You are so sweet, Tavette. I sure wish I actually moved at lightening speed, especially when cleaning up my kitchen after making one of my projects. I’m having a great time making the videos and I’m so glad to hear you are enjoying them. I speed them up somewhere between 2 and 16 times how I’m actually moving just so you don’t get bored watching! It sure would be fun to move that fast. I’d get so much done in a day!

    The snowman pretzels are darling and I love the fact that I won’t need to bundle up to make them!

      That’s the best kind of snowman to build, in my opinion. It’s been years since I’ve been out in the cold rolling snowballs into a snowman. That’s fun too, but certainly much more work.
