How to Build a Pretzel "Pallet" Snowman

Once again, Pinterest inspired.  

Almond bark covered pretzel snowman.

 I am calling it a pretzel "pallet" snowman

because it resembles those

pallet wood lawn ornaments. 

I laid out my pretzels.

I spread the melted white bark or candy melts

on the diagonal on one side of the pretzels. 

Let set in the fridge for a few minutes.

Turned over and frosted the back side. Let set.

After the pretzels are stuck together it is much

easier to handle and I could pretty much just

dip in the chocolate,

then place the hat brim pretzel.

I stood them up in between my cooling rack wires to set.

But first, while the bark is still wet,

I added sprinkles to mimic pines and holly berries. 

When set, added a little "snow" to the hat.

Piped eyes and mouths with more chocolate bark.

When I added orange gel food coloring

to the candy melts it became like a dough consistency

so I went with it and formed little noses

which I actually like much better than if I had piped them on!

All wrapped up and off to the Bazaar

along with some marshmallow reindeer pops

and pretzel rod turkeys.

I'm lovin' the prepackaged eyes.

They make it so easy to create these little

novelty food faces and give such personality.

These marshmallow reindeer are on sucker sticks

although you can't tell from the photos.

See you at the Holiday Bazaar!!
