Snowman Snow Mold

3-D Snowman Rice Krispy Treats
When I first saw this snowman I immediately thought Rice Krispy Treats. At the time I didn’t know what it was. Now, after doing some searching I found out it is a snow mold. Living in Tucson AZ snow never entered my mind. I think the snowman molds would also be great for sand. If you’re lucky enough to live near a beach it would be fun to create a beach version of a winter scene. Anyway….back to these incredible Rice Krispy Treats Snowmen.

Where Can I Find The Snowman Molds?

I found mine at Target in the Dollar Spot area. Target also carries penguins and snow balls. Amazon has a huge selection of different molds and snow maker kits.

Below you will find listed some tips and tricks I like to use. Hopefully these ideas will make the process a littler easier.

TOOTHPICKS: Once the melted vanilla candy has hardened, use a toothpick to mark where the eyes, nose and mouth will go.

FAN: I use a small hand held fan to quickly cool the melted candy so it doesn’t run either down or when laying down up.

MELTED CANDY: If you’re making multiple snowmen, keep the melted candy warm by placing it in hot water. I took out the silicone insert of my melting pot, added hot water and turned the temp to the melting setting. TRICK: The candy in the tips of the squeeze bottles will harden and clog to avoid that from happening, place toothpicks in the hole.

EDIBLE SNOW: Pull apart white cotton candy. I found mine at The Dollar Tree.

BUMPERS: To avoid the snowman from rolling, add bumpers on each side. I had extra bags of marshmallows so I used them to serve as my bumpers.

IF I REFRIGERATE THE SNOWMEN TO HARDEN FOR DECORATING WILL THEY STILL BE SOFT INSIDE?

3-D Snowman Rice Krispy Treats
Yes! Once the snowmen come back to room temperature, they go back to their original texture.

HOW DO I SERVE THE 3-D SNOWMAN RICE KRISPY TREAT?

Slice the snowman like you would a cake using a large serrated knife.

Yield: Makes 1 (8-inch) Snowman

This Christmas create a fun edible centerpiece for the kids table!

Ingredients

  • 6 cups krispy rice cereal
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag mini marshmallows
  • 1 (16 ounce) vanilla candy coating (found at most grocery stores on the baking isle)
  • 1 cup black candy melts
  • 1 cup orange candy melts
  • Optional: white sugar sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Spray both sides of the mold with non stick cooking spray; set aside.
  2. Measure cereal into a medium bowl.
  3. In a large microwave safe bowl add the butter and marshmallows.
  4. Heat 1 minute, stir and continue heating 30 seconds.
  5. Stir marshmallow mixture, pour measured cereal into the marshmallow, and stir to combine.
  6. Split (as best as you can) the cereal mixture into each side of the mold.
  7. Press down to compact the mixture.
  8. Use the slide locks on the side to secure the sides.
  9. Place filled mold in the refrigerator 1 hour.
  10. Once the hour is up, place vanilla candy in the tray provided by the packaging, follow melting instruction on the wrapper (about 1 minute 30 seconds). Stir at the one minute mark.
  11. Lay cold snowman on its side in a 9x13-inch baking dish, pour melted candy evenly over the snowman.
  12. Using a spatula, scoop up the leftover melted candy, smooth all over the snowman, making sure to fill in any holes.
  13. Keep rolling and covering the snowman until most of it is covered.
  14. Lift the snowman out of the baking dish onto a flat surface that can be placed in the refrigerator ( I used a small cutting board). lined with parchment paper.
  15. Continue using the spatula to cover any holes and where the snowman was lifted.
  16. While the candy is still wet, add sprinkles.
  17. NOTE: I had to toss them on.
  18. Place coated snowman in the refrigerator 30 minutes to harden.
  19. Meanwhile add black candy melts to a small microwave safe bowl. Heat on high 1 minute, stir, and heat at 70% 30 seconds. Stir and pour into a squeeze bottle. Repeat the same steps for the orange candy melts. Look below for tips about how to keep the candy melted and clog free.
  20. Use a toothpick to draw the eyes, nose, and mouth.
  21. To prevent the candy from running down the face, use a hand held fan to quickly dry the candy.

Notes

MELTED CANDY: If you're making multiple snowmen, keep the melted candy warm by placing it in hot water. I take out the silicone insert of my melting pot, add hot water and turn the temp to the melting setting. TRICK: The candy in the tips of the squeeze bottles will harden and clog to avoid that from happening, place toothpicks in the hole.
