These cute reindeer and snowman  stole the show at our family Christmas party last year.  They are simple to make and delicious to eat. You can make them  yourself or use these goodies as an ice breaker activity when your family first arrives at the party.

The Snowmen are easy to make using Hostess Sno balls.  Just keep your eyes open for them because they seem to only be available at certain  times of the year.

Use a little white frosting to glue an orange candy like an M&M or Skittle or Sixlet to the Sno Ball. You can also just do a dab of orange frosting. Use black frosting gel in a tube to make the eyes. Cut a paper straw in half and press it inside of the Sno Ball.

Put a dab of white frosting where you want the eyes to go and  carefully press the point side of two white chocolate chips into the Swiss Rolls to make the eyes. Use black gel to make the dots for the eyes.

Put a dab of white frosting to glue a red M&M nose below the eyes. Cut a paper straw in half and press it inside of the Swiss Roll.

HINT: Be very careful when placing the antlers and the eyes.  If you push to hard your reindeer may look  like this…
