Snowman Party Poppers

by

Are you having a winter party?  Tis the season to celebrate the snow with a cute snowman snack I like to call Snowman Party Poppers.
We’ve already introduced you to the Christmas Snacks we like to call Grinch Party Poppers and Santa party poppers; so today it’s time for the snowmen!

 

These guys are made of mozzarella cheese, blackberry jam, pretzels, and fruit – a winning combination of flavors if you ask me!
Here’s how to make your own.
Ingredients needed (for 15+ poppers):
-large chunk mozzarella cheese – the largest size available at most grocery stores
-pretzel sticks
-2-3 tablespoons seedless blackberry preserves (may substitute other seedless preserves)
-grapes (or other desired fruit) for hats
Assembly:
Step 1:  Cut mozzarella into groups of 3 chunk sizes.
Start with deciding the size you’d like the head chunk to be and cut those equally.
Next, cut slightly larger chunks for the middle, and repeat for the bottom.
Tip:  think about how much cheese would be desirable to eat for one child in one sitting.  Make sure your bottom chunk is not so big that it would be too much for the average person to want to finish.
Step 2:  Fill piping bag or plastic baggie with corner sliced off for piping with blackberry preserves, and pipe faces onto smallest chunks of cheese.
 The fruit and cheese combo is classic and tastes fantastic.
The preserves, once piped onto the cheese for faces, stay in place very well, and they should not dribble as long as you do not make the dots too large.  I used the smallest tip on my piping bags.
Step 3:  Build Snowmen
Because they stay together so well, these guys don’t even require a toothpick!  If you are serving them at a party, however, I would use one in order to be able to quickly grab one from a serving plate.
Layer your three chunks of cheese, largest on bottom, and work up.  Slice the bottoms off of as many grapes as you have snowmen and add to the top to look like hats.
Insert toothpicks and you are ready to go!

    • hi um i was wondering id like to get money and i saw your cheat eingne hack but how do you hack without getting banned because i dont want to get banned because my mom will get pissed off

      • Those cups are adorable! Don’t shoot me, but I can alatucly live without drinking hot chocolate. I do like the taste, but I prefer coffe and tea and pieces of (very cark) chocolate rather than the liquid form. 🙂 It’s sort of too rich for me. I made some this Christmas, from scratch, you kow, milk, a little cream, grated chocolate… I definitely don’t do powders etc.xxx

      • Happy New Year Kim!! Hope this year is even better than the last! I love those cups – they are so cute! I used to rellay love hot chocolate, but I’ve come to find that its a little too sweet for my liking nowadays! But when I do have it, I love Baileys in it 😉 And topped with whipped cream and some marshmallows!
