1/2 teaspoon mint extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

For the snowmen's heads, divide the reserved dough into 8 pieces and roll into balls. Stack 1 smaller ball on top of each larger ball. Use the colored dough to form hats, scarves and earmuffs as desired. Use colored sprinkles and candies to make eyes, nose and buttons. Yield: 8 snowmen.
Me too! My hubby makes fun of me for having so many. There's no people like snow people.
A snowman is one thing my kids can make for me that they know I love, they have fun ... and they are so proud they made it for me. And then I make them something special to warm up when they come in.
I could never live somewhere that it doesn't snow.
Did anyone ever buy the Snowden snow men from target, years back, they were so cute and changed outfits every year, it was kinda their christmas mascot. My mom collects snowmen and I would send them to her every year, before they had a target.

There is nothing about a snowman to not love. They are easy for kids to draw a picture of, if they make one for you it's free, and when they know you really like them they are so eager to make them for you because it's fun. And they are proud of themselves for being able to make something for you. There's no people like snow people.
