It is day 8 of December which means we are well on our way to a delicious Christmas! Every day this month, we will share some of our most Christmassy and festive recipes such as these tasty, edible snowmen (which are the best kind!)
Ingredients
- 16 Baking Cases
- 100g (3 ½ oz) margarine, softened
- 100g (3 ½ oz) caster sugar
- 2 medium eggs, beaten
- 2.5ml (½ tsp) Vanilla Extract
- 125g (4 ½ oz) plain flour
- 10ml (2 tsp) Dr. Oetker Baking Powder
- 100g Dr. Oetker White Chocolate Chips
- 75g (3 oz) Cranberries
To decorate:
- 500g Dr. Oetker Regal-Ice Coloured
- Ready to Roll Icing pack
- Includes 5 x100g Green, Red, Blue, Black & Yellow
- 454G Dr. Oetker Regal-Ice White Ready to Roll Icing
- 100g Dr. Oetker Milk Chocolate Chips
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C Fan Oven, Gas Mark 5). Line a muffin tin with 16 red Fun Baking Cases. In a mixing bowl, beat the margarine with the sugar until pale, and creamy-light in texture.
- Gradually whisk in the eggs and Vanilla Extract, then sift the flour and Baking Powder on top. Add the Chocolate Chips and Cranberries. Using a large metal spoon, carefully fold the dry ingredients into the creamy mixture.
- Spoon the mixture into the Baking Cases and bake for about 15 minutes until lightly golden and just firm to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- To decorate, use the white regal icing to cover the muffins and make the snowman’s body. Then use the red and green regal icing to shape and form the snowman’s hat, ear muffs, scarf and gloves. Finish with milk chocolate chips for the eyes and buttons and serve.
