MINTY SNOWMEN
Snipped out of a Taste of Home holiday magazine, and glued onto a recipe card. Fun to make with older (9-12 age group) kids and really cute standing among a tray of Christmas cookies. I suggest using egg cups or custard cups to mix the three separated tablespoons of coloured dough in, to cut down on cleanup.

Tips:
- Use fresh mint: Fresh mint leaves add a vibrant flavor and color to these snowmen. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Chill the mixture before shaping: Chilling the mixture before shaping helps it to hold its shape better. If the mixture is too warm, it will be difficult to shape and may fall apart.
- Use a variety of toppings: You can use a variety of toppings to decorate your snowmen, such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, candy canes, or mini marshmallows. Get creative and have fun!
