Creating Festive Snowman Treats with Shimmer and Delights

The holiday season is a time for family, creativity, and sweet celebrations. Betty Mafla, founder of Shimmer and Delights, demonstrates how to craft charming snowman-themed treats that are both simple to make and visually delightful, perfect for holiday gatherings at home.

Betty begins with pretzel stick snowmen. By dipping pretzels in white chocolate and arranging them in a “ladder” shape, then adding a layer of dark chocolate once dry, these treats take on a whimsical, winter-inspired appearance. Small candies or edible ink are then used to create expressive eyes, a carrot-shaped nose, and a cheerful smile. The result is a playful yet elegant confection that children and adults alike can enjoy assembling.

For an alternative, Betty introduces snowman cake pops. Coated in white chocolate and decorated with edible ink for facial features, these cake pops can be topped with mini Oreos or small candies as hats, offering a creative twist on traditional treats. Marshmallows can also be transformed into snowmen, perfect for floating in hot chocolate or enjoyed on their own.

Throughout the demonstration, Betty emphasizes the joy of the process over perfection, encouraging families to have fun, explore their creativity, and make lasting holiday memories. These festive treats exemplify how simple ingredients and a touch of imagination can bring warmth and cheer to the season.
