So I have one tonight which I made oreo truffles for (amazing!) and I have another two weeks from today and another one three days after that. So I don't want to make the same thing over and over. Anyone have any unique cookie recipes they are willing to share? It's difficult because I don't want to bring something everyone else is bringing. Tonight's exchange we had a posted listed but for the next two we won't. I love florida cracker candy (my go to but apparently its more popular than I thought and other are bringing it. Thanks for the sharing and here's to hoping I don't gain 15lbs just in Dec alone, lol.

Candy Cane Snowmen
Ingredients:
30 Big Marshmallows
10 Candy Canes
10 Hershey Kisses (unwrapped)
Pull and Peel Twizzlers (10 strands)
30 red mini M&Ms
10 Reese?s Pieces Minis
White Icing (to act as glue)
Black Gel Icing
Clean Screwdriver (believe me, it works!)
Instructions:
1. Break the top part off the candy canes so that you are left with a straight stick. Take 3 marshmallows and stick the candy cane through each to stack them on top of each other to make the snowman body. To prevent the candy cane from squishing the marshmallows, heat up a phillips screwdriver under hot water and poke a hole through each marshmallow first. Watch the tutorial to see why this works!
2. Take one long rope of the Twizzlers and wrap between the middle and top marshmallow to create a scarf.
3. Dab just a bit of icing on a Hershey Kiss and put on the top of the top marshmallow as a hat.
4. Dab a tiny bit of icing on three red mini M&Ms and put them on the front of the marshmallows like buttons.
5. Cut one Reese?s Pieces Mini (orange) in half and with a dab of icing attach it to the top marshmallow as a nose.
6. Dab two eyes with the black gel icing.
7. You are done! If you are super creative, use pretzel sticks as arms but I don?t think it needs it.
Makes: 10 Snowmen
