How To Make Melted Snowman Chocolate Bark
You’ll find the ingredient list and step-by-step photos below, or you can scroll to the bottom of the post for the full printable recipe.
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper to prepare your surface. Cut the Reese’s Minis in half and break the pretzel sticks into smaller pieces to resemble arms.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring after each session until smooth. Using the same spoon, drop spoonfuls of melted candy onto the parchment and spread into oval or puddle-like shapes to form the melted snowmen.
Work in small batches of three to four snowmen at a time so the chocolate doesn’t harden before decorating. Add a half Reese’s Mini near the top for the hat and two candy eyeballs beneath it for the eyes.
Add one orange sprinkle for the nose.
Place pretzel halves on each side for arms and arrange three same-colored Mini M&Ms down the center to represent buttons.
Let the candy set completely for about an hour before serving or packaging.

- Spoon
- parchment paper
- Baking sheet or tray
Ingredients
- 8 oz (about 1 ½ cups) bright white candy melts
- 8 Reese’s Minis candies, cut in half
- 32 candy eyeballs
- 16 orange sprinkles
- 16 pretzel sticks, broken in half
- 48 Mini M&Ms You’ll use 3 of the same color for each snowman, so plan accordingly when picking them
Instructions
- Prepare your tray or baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the Reese’s Minis and break the pretzel sticks in half.
- Melt the candy in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each heat session, until fully melted.

- Add two candy eyeballs slightly under the hat, then an orange sprinkle slightly under and between the eyes.
- Add two pretzel halves on either side of the oval for the arms.

Melted Snowman Bark FAQs
How should I store melted snowman bark?
Store the snowman bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Keep it in a cool, dry place so the candy melts stay firm.
Can I make melted snowman bark ahead of time?
Yes. You can make it up to a week ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container until you’re ready to serve, gift, or add it to a holiday treat tray.
Can I use white chocolate instead of candy melts?
Yes, you can use white chocolate, but candy melts are usually easier to work with and set more firmly. If using white chocolate, melt it carefully so it stays smooth.
What can I use instead of Reese’s Minis?
You can use mini peanut butter cups or another small chocolate candy that works well for the snowman hats.
Can kids help make these melted snowmen?
Yes. Kids can help add the candy eyes, orange sprinkle noses, Mini M&M buttons, pretzel arms, and chocolate hats after the melted candy has been spooned onto the parchment paper.
