Helpful Tips
- The foundation of your snowman is crucial! While digestives are great, consider sturdy shortbread cookies for a buttery richness or even gingerbread cookies for a festive, spiced twist. Graham crackers can offer a delightful crunch, especially if you’re aiming for a s’mores-like flavor profile. Ensure your chosen biscuit is flat and robust enough to hold the icing and decorations without breaking.
- Achieving the perfect ‘melted’ look hinges on your icing consistency. Start with the suggested milk amount and add very gradually. You want an icing that’s thick enough to cling to the biscuit and create a distinct ‘puddle’ and ‘head’ shape, but still soft enough to spread easily. If it’s too runny, your snowman will completely disappear; add a teaspoon of powdered sugar. If it’s too stiff, it won’t spread naturally; add a quarter teaspoon of milk. Practice on a small amount if you’re unsure.
- This recipe is a goldmine for cooking with kids! Assign them roles – drawing faces, placing buttons, or arranging pretzel arms. Encourage their creativity and remind them that no two snowmen are alike, especially after a ‘melt’! The charm of these biscuits comes from their handmade, slightly quirky appearance. Don’t strive for perfection; celebrate the unique character each child brings to their snowman.
- Unleash your inner artist! Beyond M&M’s Minis and sprinkles, think outside the box. Thin strips of red fruit leather make fantastic vibrant scarves. Use mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons, or tiny silver dragees for a sophisticated sparkle. Even small pieces of dried cranberry or chopped candied ginger can add unique texture and color. Consider edible glitter for a truly magical, snowy shimmer on your ‘puddle’.
- Patience is a virtue when waiting for your snowmen to set. For best results and to prevent sticking, allow the biscuits to sit undisturbed at room temperature, ideally on a wire rack for air circulation, for at least an hour, or even a few hours if your icing is particularly thick or humid. Only stack them once the icing is completely dry and firm to the touch. This ensures your beautiful creations remain intact for serving and gifting.
