Living in Colorado, I do enjoy the snow. From the inside. Like, I love to look at it through the window...but play in the snow? Not so much, I don't like to be cold. But I do like to play in fake snow! While shopping for Christmas treasures on clearance I found Snowman Peeps and Candy Canes... that's when I decided to make Sledding Snowman S'mores!
Snowman S'mores
I'm not sure where these little Snowmen Peeps went sledding, although I did hear they were in Aspen, along with all the other celebrity Peeps. Now you can go sledding too!

I found my snowman peeps on clearance at Joann Fabrics.
You may even have Candy Canes on hand~
I picked them up at the Dollar Store for 25 cents.
I always have chocolate on my pantry shelf~
And Graham Crackers~
Now lets get started~
Cut the Graham Crackers in half.
Use a knife instead of breaking so you get a clean cut.

Also, cut the Hershey bars in half~
Glue the chocolate to the graham with melted chocolate as glue~
Unwrap your candy canes~
Add melted chocolate to one candy cane~
Place one graham/chocolate sandwich on the chocolate~
Use another candy cane (without any chocolate) to prop up the other side.
Then add chocolate to a candy cane and place on the other side~

Now your sled is ready for the snowman peep.
My peeps were a little lop sided, so I trimmed the bottom off with a knife~
Add a little more melted chocolate to the bottom of the snowman~
Set him on the sled~
Now they're ready to hit the slopes.
Yep, they went to Aspen!
Lots of fresh powder and what fun they had!
After coming off the slopes cold and a bit wet, I made something special to warm them up.

Après Ski Anyone?
Your pictures turned out great. The winter wonderland you created is so pretty and your skiing snowmen look perfect in it.
