I finally got around to making these adorable snowman treats for the preschool snack. Instead of shoving jimmies and other candies into the doughnut for the face, I just piped it on really quickly with some icing I had in the fridge. I tried the jimmies and they just broke in half. I used some sticky gems from the scrapbook section for the buttons. Basically, I shoved the doughnut into the straw. Then I placed all of the donut/straw things into a sheet cake pan. Then I piped on the faces. I made a couple of extras in case of disaster. Then I brought the empty "milk bottles" (They are Starbucks cappuccino things from Target.) and the milk separate. I put them together right before snack at preschool.
The kids really loved this and it was a huge hit. I served it with carrots as well. The only complaint I would have is that this is WAY too much milk for a preschool snack. Making these for 8 kids used almost a gallon of milk and over 1/2 of it went in the trash at the end or snack. I am going to re purpose this idea at Easter and make bunnies with the same basic concept. I might use cookies or carrots for the ears. I need to look around to see what will work the best.
