**Peanut Snowmen**

**Ingredients:**
– 12 large marshmallows
– 1 cup white chocolate chips
– 24 mini peanut butter cups
– 24 mini chocolate chips
– 12 pretzel sticks
– 1/4 cup shredded coconut
– Orange decorating sugar or icing

**Instructions:**

1. Start by preparing your work area. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to place your finished Peanut Snowmen.

2. Skewer a large marshmallow onto a pretzel stick, about one-third of the way down. Repeat for all 12 marshmallows and pretzel sticks.

3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.

4. Holding the pretzel stick, carefully dip each marshmallow into the melted white chocolate until fully coated, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

5. Place the dipped marshmallow on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let the chocolate set slightly before adding the next step.

6. Once the white chocolate coating has slightly hardened, gently press a mini peanut butter cup onto the top of each marshmallow to create the snowman’s hat.

7. Using a dot of melted chocolate as “glue,” attach two mini chocolate chips as eyes onto each snowman.

8. Sprinkle a pinch of shredded coconut onto the top of each peanut butter cup hat to mimic snow.

9. For the final touch, use a small amount of orange decorating sugar or icing to create a carrot-shaped nose for each snowman.

10. Place the tray of Peanut Snowmen in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set.

11. Once the chocolate has hardened, your delightful Peanut Snowmen treats are ready to be enjoyed. Serve at a holiday gathering, give as homemade gifts, or simply indulge in a cozy moment at home with your loved ones.

Creating these Peanut Snowmen treats is a fun and engaging activity for both kids and adults alike, making them the perfect addition to your holiday season.
