Long, cold Winter days can be difficult to keep the kiddos busy and happy! Creating a fun Snowman Breakfast complete with Snowman Pancakes, Snowman Poop, a Snowman Donut Building Station and Snowman Mugs filled with Hot White Chocolate is just the ticket you need!
With just a few supplies that we found at Walmart and a couple recipes, we put together this adorable and really fun Snowman Breakfast. Even though it’s all really easy, there are a lot of different areas, so let’s break it down.
In the middle of the table, is the Snowman Poop…cute huh? The “poop” are just Vanilla Yogurt Raisins sitting in a paper box, I made the sign and yes…I made it printable for you!
The Snowmen mugs hold White Hot Chocolate. They started out as clear mugs, found in the housewares department for under $2 and I drew the Snowman’s face on with Sharpie markers.
Our original plan was to paint the face on the inside of the glass with candy melts, but we quickly realized that the Hot Chocolate would melt the candy and it wouldn’t show. So then I tried painting the face on the outside with candy melts, and although it worked out, it was taking a super long time, and you know…I like to share quick and easy ideas that you can duplicate easily. So the Sharpie markers it was…they worked perfectly and, they do wash off, just be sure you are drawing on glass.
The White Hot Chocolate is simply melted chocolate, I used Hershey’s Bliss and chopped them roughly, and milk, simmered on the stovetop. {recipe below}
The mugs of White Hot Chocolate were topped with a big spoonful of whipped topping and blue sprinkles added. On each of the plates were Snowman Pancakes, we used the same recipe we have been using for years…Old Fashioned Homemade Pancakes. They are light and fluffy with just the right flavor. Bacon for the Snowman’s scarf, chocolate chips for the eyes, and mini Reese’s pieces for the nose and buttons. And the Snowman is sitting in mini marshmallows.
The Snowman Donuts are probably the most popular. To keep the kiddos busy, we created a Snowman Building Station…
