Ingredients
1packagePHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened8 oz.
1packageOREO Cookies, finely crushed14.3 oz.
3packagewhite candy melts, melted12 oz. each
¼cuporange fondant
Watermelon pull-and-peel candycut into 1-inch lengths
Red and green chocolate button candy
Black sugar pearl sprinkles or mini chocolate chips
Baker's twine
Instructions
Mix cream cheese and OREO cookie crumbs until blended.
Shape into 48 (1-inch) balls. Freeze 10 min.
Using a ⅛-tsp. for a measure, scoop fondant. Remove fondant from measuring spoon and divide in half. Shape each piece of fondant into carrot shapes. Repeat with remaining fondant until you have 48 carrot noses. Set aside.
Place a puddle of melted candy melt on a wax-paper lined baking sheet; immediately dip one of the OREO cookie balls into the candy melts, allowing excess to drip. Place the ball onto the puddle. Immediately place the pull-and-peel candy on the top of the ball. Working quickly, add a chocolate button candy to each side of the pull-and-peel candy to create the earmuffs. Add eyes and a mouth. Press and hold the nose for a few seconds. If desired, use black sugar pearls to make buttons in the "melted" part of the snowman. Repeat with remaining balls and candy melts.
Place snowmen in the refrigerator to stand until completely cooled and the candy melts are firm, about 1 hour.
Cut pieces of baker's twine to length and carefully tie one piece around each snowman's neck to create the scarf. Repeat with remaining snowmen.
