Top 15 Edible Snowmen

Tuesday’s post about snowman earmuffs got me to thinking about other snowmen you can eat. We’re smack dab in the middle of winter, but beyond the Christmas Santas and Rudolphs, so how about some snowy-looking treats instead?

Snowman cookie pops made with white frosting, m&m candies, and jelly beans or jelly bellies

1. Snowman Cookie Pops – I prefer them with the M&M nose at the end, I think, but the other candies were a good attempt at carrots.

2. Snowman Gum – I originally posted about this as a stocking stuffer. I still think it’s cute for that, but you could potentially put it in a gift basket at other parts of the year, too.

Three white doughnuts stacked on a popsicle stick to be made to look like snowmen

3. Doughnut Snowmen on a Stick – This one actually has a real carrot nose, but I’m not sure anyone is going to want to eat that in combination with doughnuts and candies. I do love the coal eyes and mouth, though. They’re made out of grape Nerds, so they aren’t all uniform in shape.

Oreos dipped in white chocolate to look like snowmen

4. Oreo Cookie Snowmen – Aww. The middle one has earmuffs. I believe those are mini M&Ms instead of full sized ones, too, because otherwise they would be too big on Oreos.

Happy New Year snowmen pancakes 

5. Snowman Pancakes – Man, snowmen and M&Ms go hand in hand, huh? At least we have some candy corn going on for a nose for this one. 

Marshmallow snowmen and cupcakes 

6 & 7. Marshmallow Snowmen and Cupcakes with Earmuffs – At first I figured the cupcakes would be made with coconut, but nope! Those are white sugar sprinkles. I would totally eat those now that I know that, hehe.

8. Strawberry marshmallow pops – Here’s another set that uses the obvious choice of marshmallows. I liked that this on added a strawberry hat, though.

9. Ham and Cheese Bento – I’m thrilled that I could find some that were savory. Often times when people play with food, they go straight to the desserts. I like having fun with lunches and dinners, though, too. And if you follow the link, she has some other Christmas bentos that are really fun.

10. Snowman ornament onigiri – The description from number 9 applies here, too. Both savory and a link that takes you to lots of other Christmas bentos. Awesome. <3

Do it yourself snowmen cookiesCookie kit with sugar cookie pieces to make your own snowmen

 
11. Assemble Your Own Cookie Snowmen – These are just too cute. I love the idea of putting together kits like this and gifting them to kids to put together their own cookies.

Snowman cheeseball that melts into fondue

 
12. Melting Frosty the Cheeseball Fondue – There’s a video of this one, too. It starts as just a snowman cheesball and then they melt him in a sauté pan. Poor Frosty!

Miniature snowmen made out of fondant
 
13. Miniature snowmen fondant – They’re so teenie tiny!! You can buy them on Etsy to then use them for cupcakes or cake pops, etc.

Draw on a fish bowl to make it festive for holidays

 
14. Snowman punch bowl – Actually, it’s more likely to be milk or eggnog. If you look in the back, there are also matching glasses. Unfortunately, the link for it is partially broken, but there are several other great ideas with full info still listed.

Cauliflower casserole with olives and carrots

 
15. Cauliflower Cheese Man – Hehe, this looks like something I would end up making. It’s not as professional as other pictures, but it’s “real,” if that makes sense. This is what most people at home would end up with and it’d taste delicious. Love it.

If you’re ever invited to a Halloween luau party…

Reminder that this year’s NaBloPoMo theme on Quirky Cookery is “adults.” Content may not be appropriate for kids.

Pineapple carved to look like a zombie face with a laffy taffy candy tonue and jam blood.

Then obviously this zombie pineapple is the perfect hostess gift. Or maybe it would be your +1?

If you want some closeups of the teeth and tongue, definitely click here. Oh, and the eyes, too. Crepy! The eyes don’t appear to be edible and neither is the flower, that I know of, by the rest is. The tongue is actually laffy taffy candy and the “blood” is blackberry jam. Cool, isn’t it?

Halloween Candy Monster Kabobs

Kebab. Kabab. Kabob. I know what is technically right and I know the original, but no matter how I end up spelling it, it always requires a trip to Google to double check….and at least one person correcting the spelling regardless, so meh. Take ‘em all! :P

I love these, uh, skewered candy treats. I don’t recommend them for handing out to trick-or-treaters because the candy is all unwrapped…and well, skewers are dangerous, pfft. :P

They’re perfect for a party, though, don’t you think? I really think they would work for an adult or kid party either one and people would get a huge kick out of them. I’m not sure how much time they take to put together, but assuming all the candy is unwrapped to begin with (have the kids do it, hehe), I doubt it’d take much to assemble them.

The best part is that there’s no specific recipe or ingredient list to follow either. You could use any candy that you can get your hands on and put them together in any combination. It kinda makes me think of Monsters Inc with all the different funky monsters.
