Snowman Candy Bars - DIY Gift Idea

Every year, I'll usually give our kids' teachers a tin of homemade baked goods.  This year I wanted to switch it up a little, but I still wanted the teachers' gifts to be simple and budget-friendly.  I think I'll still make them a little tin of cookies, but I'm also going to give them each one of these adorable DIY Snowman Candy Bars.

Snowman Candy Bars are super easy to make, definitely cost effective, and most of all festive, fun, and cute!  Your friends, family, neighbors and teachers will LOVE these Snowman Candy Bars, and you'll have fun making them.

Quick note: I thought it would look nicer if I used cardstock for the white paper, but it was extremely hard to work with.  So I made a few more using just white computer paper.  Much better and easier to work with. And you can't even tell which is which when I was done!
