What do you think about these little guys?  Aren't they adorable - stacked jar hot chocolate snowmen!

They are super easy to make!  All you need is a few jars - you can use mason jars, or little jam jars, ingredients to make delicious hot chocolate (marshmallows + hot chocolate powder) and I added some pepermint candies in the bottom.  I made the top hats out of black cardboard and the scarves out of checkered fabric.  Then I just drew on the face and buttons with a sharpie pen.   

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends!  
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
