02 - 18 small round pretzels
03 - 18 yogurt-covered pretzel rounds
04 - 18 mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons
05 - 6 small carrot sticks cut into triangles for noses
06 - 6 thin slices red bell pepper for scarves
07 - Edible black food marker (optional)

→ Dips

08 - 1 cup cream cheese, softened
09 - 1/2 cup sour cream
10 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped

→ Garnishes

# Method:

01 - Combine cream cheese, sour cream, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Transfer to a small serving bowl and place hummus in a separate bowl.
02 - Thread a mini pretzel rod through three pretzel rounds—two plain for the body and one yogurt-covered for the head. Press mini chocolate chips into the yogurt-covered pretzel to create eyes and buttons, add a carrot triangle for the nose, and wrap a thin red bell pepper slice around the neck as a scarf. Optionally, use an edible marker to draw a mouth.
03 - Place assembled snowmen on a large platter. Arrange the bowls of dips nearby and garnish with fresh parsley sprigs and halved cherry tomatoes.
04 - Present immediately to maintain crispness and enjoy.
