    Snowman Rice Krispies Treats

    Make these cute and quirky Rice Krispie Treat Snowmen for Christmas or a wintertime dessert. Each white chocolate-dipped cereal treat is fun to decorate using modeling chocolate or fondant.

    snowmen Rice Krispie treat lollipops.

    Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but these snowman Rice Krispies treats are so delightful.

    Their googly eyes, buck teeth, and cheeky little grins just make me feel all warm inside, which is good because it's 2 degrees Fahrenheit here today. BRRR.

    Over the weekend, the weather forecasters predicted 6-10 inches of snow here in Dayton.

    Snowman rice krispie treats

    It never came. We got an inch of snow. It was not even enough to make a snowman.

    So, I decided to make my own, out of Rice Krispies Treats, Candy Melts, and modeling chocolate.

    I had so much fun making these cute treats. I hope you do too!

    Winter candy recipe

    Rice Krispies Treats Snowmen

    Before you begin, read my Chocolate Making Tips page for information about melting confectionery coating and making/coloring modeling chocolate.

    Ingredients

    • Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats bars
    • melted, white Candy Melts/confectionery coating
    • white modeling chocolate (recipe, here)
    • black, orange, and blue food coloring
    • black food coloring marker

    You'll need about 1 ½ ounces of white candy coating for each cereal treat bar, but have more on hand, because you need to have enough in the cup to dip and fully cover your crispy treats.

    Supplies

    • craft sticks
    • tall glass
    • parchment paper lined baking sheet
    • non-stick mat
    • fondant rolling pin
    • #2,3,6 and 8 round pastry tips
    • tiny teardrop, round, and oval cutters (½ - ¾ inch)

    Items used to create this project are available on Amazon.com (commission earned for sales).

    Dip treats in white chocolate.

    Unwrap Rice Krispies Treats and insert a stick in one end. Pour melted confectionery coating into a tall glass.

    Set on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

    Freeze for 5-8 minutes.

    Color some white modeling chocolate using orange, black, and blue coloring. Using a fondant roller, roll out a small amount of each color on a non-stick baking mat.

    Cut the following for each snowman:

    • Black - 1 round, 1 oval, 1 (# 8 tip) round, 1 (# 6 tip) round
    • White - 1 round, 1 oval, 1 (# 2 tip) round, 1 (# 3 tip) round

    • Orange - 1 teardrop-shaped carrot
    making candy eyes out of white and black modeling chocolate.

    Brush a very thin layer of water on the back of a white modeling chocolate oval and press it onto the black modeling chocolate oval.

    Do the same with a white circle and a black circle.

    Then attach a small black pupil to each of those eyes and add a tiny white highlight.

    • 12 ounces white compound chocolate (Candy Melts, almond bark, or melting wafers)
    • 6 ounces white modeling chocolate
    • black, orange, and blue food coloring

    6. Remove and allow the excess white chocolate to drip back into the glass.

    7. Set on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

    8. Freeze for 5-8 minutes just until the chocolate has hardened.

    9. Color some white modeling chocolate using orange, black, and blue coloring.
    10. Using a fondant roller, roll out a small amount of each color on a non-stick baking mat.
    11. Cut the following for each snowman:

    Recipe Notes

    Each Rice Krispie Treat will get coated in a little over 1 ounce of white compound chocolate (candy melts, almond bark, melting wafers). When you are finished dipping your treats, pour the remaining melted white chocolate out onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, freeze until hardened, and save for another use.

    Store your treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.

      So sorry you've been sick! I too have been under-the-weather..longer than I thought I would be. You though, have been very productive with these too cute snowmen. Your treats always makes me smile! Stay warm. 🙂

        Sorry to hear you've been sick as well. December was a terrible month around here. I got sick when I got home from California, and was ill for about a week. My husband got sick and was in bed for 2 weeks. He's just now feeling better. Then I got sick again and was in bed for a solid week and am just now doing better. Being sick stinks. I get so antsy. I hate being in bed. I get bored after one day. When I finally got out of bed, all I wanted to do was create.

        I hope you are feeling well now. I look forward to seeing your new creations.

      Well now we know ... Rice Krispie Treats are like medicine! So happy to hear that you are up and about 🙂 One inch of snow is pretty to look at and no shoveling required! Your snowmen have so much personality!

        They are the best kind of medicine I know!

        It is pretty here today. I certainly will never complain about having 1 inch instead of 12 inches of snow. Once, years ago, I lived in Kentucky, and the weatherman predicted 1 inch of snow. Instead we woke up to find 16 inches in our yard. The city was shutdown for 5 days. So, I'm happy with one!

        It is nice to finally be up and moving again. I can deal with the coughing now that I at least have some energy. I spent days thinking of blog post ideas and can't wait to make them. I just couldn't be in bed one more day.
