As a mom, I like anything that’s going to make my life easier. It’s really not because I’m a mom…it’s just because, why do something the hard way when there’s an easier way to do it?
When it’s time to show off my “mommy skills” and make something special for my kiddos, I like to do things that will “wow” them, but still be rather simple. You know, like my White Chocolate Peppermint Brownies.
Well, these Nutter Butter Snowmen are another fun treat to add to your easy recipe pile! Not only are they REALLY simple to make, they look amazing! My kiddos also love helping to make them too!
