2. Push one pretzel stick down through the middle hole.
3. Stack the second donut on top, pressing it down the pretzel.
4. Add the third donut on top to make the full snowman.
5. Break a pretzel stick in half. Push each half into the sides of the middle donut to make arms.

Notes and Variations

• Younger Scouts might need help pushing in the chocolate chips.
• If you don’t have decorator icing, use a gumdrop for the hat.
• Use candy corn for noses if desired.
• Be sure Scouts wash hands before handling food.
• Watch for food allergies—especially with donuts and chocolate.
