Ingredients
  • 1 box Farm Rich™ Mozzarella Bites (found in the freezer section at Kroger, Walmart, or Meijer)
  • Liquid food coloring, Black and Orange
  • Warm pizza sauce or marinara for serving
Instructions
  1. Prepare the "Ink": Pour a few drops of black liquid food coloring into one small bowl and orange into another.
  2. Decorate while Frozen: Working with the Mozzarella Bites while still frozen, dip your black food marker into the liquid coloring. Draw two eyes, a "coal" smile, and three buttons.
  3. Add the Carrot Nose: Dip the orange marker into the orange liquid and draw a small triangle nose.
  4. Note: Be sure to wipe the marker tips on a paper towel occasionally to remove any frost or crumbs.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the decorated bites on a baking sheet. Bake according to the package directions until the crust is golden and the cheese is melty.
  6. Build Your Snowman: Remove from the oven. Carefully slide three Mozzarella Bites onto a wooden skewer to create the snowman body.
  7. Crucial Tip: Always skewer after baking so the gooey mozzarella cheese does not ooze out in the oven!
  8. Serve & Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm with a side of pizza sauce.

Recipe Notes

Add a Scarf: Use a strip of roasted red pepper or a piece of green onion to give your snowman a festive scarf!

 

Storage: These are best served fresh and hot. If you have leftovers, reheat them in the air fryer to keep the crust crispy.

 

Marker Care: Always wipe your markers clean before storing them to prevent the tips from hardening.
