6 plain mini cake doughnuts
12 plain cake doughnut holes
2 tablespoons coarse white sugar
6 thin pretzel sticks, broken in half
2 chewy fruit snacks in three-foot rolls (any flavor from 4.5-oz box), cut into six 7- or 8-inch pieces
1 tube Betty Crockerâ„¢ black decorating gel (or other colors)
6 orange candy sprinkles
12 candy-coated chocolate or fruit-flavored candies (about 1 tablespoon)

  • With decorating gel, draw dots on heads for eyes; insert orange candy sprinkles for noses.
  • Gently press 1 candy-coated chocolate candy into frosting on each side of each snowman head. Draw line of decorating gel over top of each head to connect 2 candies and form earmuffs.
