3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2/3 cup sugar

Lift bag; squeeze and release bag to form middle layer of snowman. Lift bag; squeeze and release bag to form top section of snowman. Insert pretzel stick pieces into sides of snowmen for arms. Place chocolate chips on snowmen for eyes, candy corn tips for noses and 3 miniature candies on each snowman for buttons.
