Yesterday I took these adorable snowman on a stick donut treats to Luke and Lila’s kindergarten class party and they were a big hit!  They were really easy to make and looked so cute.  They’re the perfect treat for a winter party!

 These snowmen on a stick were inspired by the cute snowmen at A Little Tipsy but I made a couple of changes to them.

How to Make a Donut Snowman on a Stick

To make these cute snowmen, you’ll need the following ingredients for each snowman: three mini powdered donuts, an orange Mike and Ike, another Mike and Ike candy in any color, fruit roll-ups or fruit leather in any color, black food coloring or a black edible marker, and a long wooden skewer.

To make each snowman, carefully slide the donuts onto a long wooden skewer {if the donuts aren’t fresh, they may split when you slide them on but sliding them very slowly will help}.

Poke an orange Mike and Ike into the hole in the top donut to make the nose then cut a green Mike and Ike in half and poke it into the other two holes to create the buttons.  

Slice a piece off of a fruit roll-up to make the scarf.  Wrap it around the snowman, in between the first and second donuts, and cross it over itself.  You could even use a pair of kitchen shears to add a little fringe, if you wanted.

To make the eyes and the mouth, draw dots on with an edible marker or dip a toothpick in black food coloring and gently touch the tip of the toothpick onto the donut.

These little snowmen are really quick to make and an entire batch can be whipped up in no time, especially if you set up an assembly line.

Aren’t they cute?

How to Transport Donut Snowmen to a Party

If you’re transporting the snowmen to a class party like I did, just stack them carefully in a 9×13 pan, alternating the directions they’re facing.

If a 9×13 pan isn’t large enough for the number of snowmen you have to transport, lay them carefully in a shallow box.

How to Make Snowman Juice Boxes

Want another quick and easy snowman-themed treat for a winter party?

Wrap regular juice boxes with white duct tape and use hot glue to add little black paper buttons cut with a circle punch. 

The kids at our kindergarten party loved these snowman themed treats!

    Thanks for this idea! There were so many oooohhs and ahhhs as I delivered them to my daughter’s 4th grade class this morning. And we had a blast making them (had to make 50)! Our variatons are: Little marshmallow tophats–I sliced large marshmallows to make the brims and placed a small marshmallow on top of each slice. I was gonna paint them with black icing, but it was too tedious so the men had to have white hats. We used chocolate sprinkles for the eyes and mouth. I wish I had thought to wrap them individually and tie them with a ribbon like I just saw on the “A Little Tipsy” page. But it turned out well! Thanks to you and Michelle for this idea!!

    Is there a special brand of donuts you guys are using? When I made the snowman the donuts fall apart.

      I believe I just used Entemann’s. They need to be quite fresh though and I stuck the skewers in very carefully so they didn’t break apart.

    Hi, was wondering if you used a certain size skewer? I made Halloween candy skewers and couldn’t use the candy corn/pumpkin bc they fell apart. The orange slice eventually broke in 1/2 as well. Did you make them the night b4? Sorry for all the questions but I love love this idea & want to perfect it. Thanks!!!

      I used regular sized wooden skewers. I slid the donuts on very slowly and they did fine. It definitely worked better with fresher donuts. I foudn that if I slid them on quickly, they were more likely to crack but otherwise they did fine. I hope that helps!

    I tried to put the donuts onto the wooden skewers but they keep breaking in half on me

      The donuts need to be fresh. If they’re stale, they will break. I also pushed them onto the skewers really slowly to avoid breakage.
