Easy Snowman Frosting Board
Let’s dive into creating our very own edible winter wonderland. The supply list is minimal and there are just a few steps required. This is a super kid-friendly “recipe,” so feel free to involve the whole fam!
Ingredients
- White Frosting (Vanilla, buttercream or cream cheese frosting works great)
- Black Icing
- Candy Eyes
- Red Twizzlers
- Black Twizzlers
- Candy Corn
- Cookies (for dippers)
Directions
Let’s Build a Snowman!
1. Start with a Blank Canvas: Grab a large tray to create your frosting creation on. I recommend a round tray or wooden board.
2. Frosting Fun: Using the white frosting, spread it out to form the shape of a snowman. You can make it as big or as small as your tray allows. Think fluffy and round – 3 circles with the largest on the bottom – just like our jolly snowman!
3. Bring Him to Life: It’s time to give our snowman some character! Place two candy eyes to bring a sparkle to his face.
4. A Nose So Bright: Every snowman needs a carrot nose, right? But we’re going candy style – use a piece of candy corn to create his cheerful nose.
5. Dress to Impress: Draw round buttons down his front with black icing. These can be as big or as small as you like.
6. Hat’s Off: Time for some style! Create a tophat using black Twizzlers.
7. Wrap Him Up: No one likes a chilly snowman. Use red Twizzlers to fashion a cozy scarf around his neck.
Add the Cookies! For the last step, spread the cookies and other dunkables around the snowman. They not only add to the festive look but are perfect for dipping into that yummy frosting. Pretzels, graham crackers and even fresh apple slices work great for dunking.

This Snowman Frosting Board is not just a dessert; it’s a centerpiece, a conversation starter, and an interactive treat all rolled into one. It’s perfect for family gatherings, holiday parties, or just a fun activity to do with the kids on a snowy afternoon.
