A Melting Snowman Sundae

Christmas is my favorite time of the year and so magical through the eyes of a child. I love making December a special month and this melting snowman sundae is a sweet and simple way to add a little magic to a party, a playdate, or just a regular winter afternoon.

To make each chilly snowman, you’ll need: a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a spoonful of marshmallow fluff, mini Reese’s Pieces or M&M’s, one leftover candy corn {not pictured}, and peanut butter cups.

These melting snowman sundaes are so easy to assemble that you could even use them as a party activity and let each child make their own. You could also prepare a bunch of them in advance and place them on a cookie sheet in your freezer so they’re ready at just the right time.

To begin, spread a spoonful of marshmallow fluff over a plate {to look like a puddle of melting snow}.

Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream …

… and top it with an upside-down peanut butter cup.

Use the candy to add two eyes ..

… then trim the candy corn into a carrot shape and stick it into the middle of the snowman’s face. If you’re allowing children to make their own sundaes, you’ll want to help with this step to avoid a trip to the ER. If your candy corn has all been eaten up, you could substitute it with an orange Mike & Ike or something similar.
