Materials

• 2 Kit Kat bars
• Toothpicks
• 4 pieces of licorice twist, plus two small slices
• 3 jelly beans
• 2 large gumdrops, various colors

• Royal icing
• Pastel mint nonpareil
• Mini marshmallow
• Fruit leather (optional)

Instructions

1. Lay down two Kit Kat bars as skis. To make each leg, poke a toothpick through a short length of licorice and a halved jelly bean and into the top of each ski, being sure to leave a tiny bit of toothpick sticking out at the top of each leg.

2. Attach a gumdrop on top of the legs to make the body. Using a toothpick, add another gumdrop for the head. With icing, glue on the nonpareil hat and its marshmallow pom-pom.

3. For each arm, thread a short licorice length and a jelly bean onto a toothpick and poke it into the body. Add ski poles made from toothpicks and the licorice slices. If desired, bundle up your skier with a fruit leather scarf.
