Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed with the whisk attachment until the whites become foamy. Add the cream of tartar and turn up the speed to medium, beating until just fluffy. Add the sugar gradually, while whisking, so it incorporates into the whites slowly without collapsing them. Once all the sugar has been added, add the vanilla and increase the speed to high, whisking until the meringue is firm and glossy, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Place the meringue into a piping bag with a medium-size round tip attached. Pipe 48 bite-size tear-drop-shaped meringues onto the sheets and place in the oven. Bake for 1 hour undisturbed, and then turn off the heat and leave in the oven overnight to really dry out.
- Melt the chocolate over a double-boiler or in the microwave on medium power for 30 seconds. Holding each meringue by the peak, dip the bases in chocolate so the bottom half of the meringue is coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Allow to set at room temperature; do not put in the fridge. Once set, store in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Empty 1 bag white candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir and continue to microwave in 15- to 30-second intervals until candy is almost completely melted. Let sit for about 1 minute and stir until smooth. Set the second bag of white candy melts aside.
- Dunk a cookie in the white melted candy. Use a fork to turn it over to ensure it's completely coated on all sides. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place 2 sprinkles in the middle for eyes. Place 1 half of a Tic Tac® under the eyes for a nose. Place 4 more sprinkles in a semi circle on the bottom for the mouth. Repeat for remaining cookies, melting the second bag of white candy melt as needed.
- Place the baking sheet in a cool, dry area for about 25 minutes so candy coating can harden. Do not place in the freezer or the snowmen will sweat.
- Melt the red candy melts as in step 2.
- Cut any excess chocolate off around each cookie. Dip the top part of each cookie in the red melted candy to make a hat and add an M&M® for a design. Place on a new parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to harden, about 25 minutes. Cut off any excess chocolate before serving.
