## Tips

- Omit pretzels and nonpareils. Do not separate cookies. Melt 4 oz. candy coating wafers; spread onto tops of cookies. Decorate with small candies and/or sprinkles to resemble snowmen faces.
- If the dipped pretzel pieces do not stick to the creme filling inside reassembled cookies, use small amount of the remaining candy coating to secure the pretzels to the cookies. Or you can instead press the coated pretzel pieces into the melted semi-sweet chocolate spread onto tops of the unsplit cookies before decorating with remaining ingredients.
- Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days before serving.
- Substitute coarse sugar for the nonpareils.
