Instructions

1

Form the Cheese Balls

Divide cream cheese into portions rolling larger balls for the snowman body and smaller balls for the head. Refrigerate formed balls on a parchment lined tray for 10 minutes to firm up slightly.

2

Roll in Shredded Cheese

Roll each cream cheese ball in shredded white cheddar cheese pressing gently so the cheese sticks evenly to all sides. Return to the tray and keep refrigerated until ready to decorate.

3

Stack and Assemble Snowmen

Place a large ball on the plate then stack a smaller ball on top pressing very gently. Insert a short toothpick through both balls from the top to help them stay stacked together securely.

Decorate and Serve

Press peppercorns into the head for eyes and a smile. Insert a small piece of baby carrot for the nose and pretzel sticks for arms. Tie a thin strip of fruit leather around the neck as a scarf. Serve with crackers.
