Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate wafers (1 bag).
While the chocolate is melting group together 6 pretzel sticks for each snowman.
Once the white chocolate is melted, dip pretzel sticks 3/4 of the way into the white chocolate, and place them on the cookie sheet next to each other to make the snowman face.
Repeat steps with the remaining pretzel groups.
Place cookie sheet into the freezer for 30 minutes.
While pretzels are in the freezer melt the milk chocolate (1 bag).
Once the 30 minutes is up, pull the tray out of the freezer.
Carefully pick up the Snowman face and dip the uncoated top 1/4 of the pretzels into the milk chocolate.
Place back onto cookie sheet and repeat steps with remaining snowman faces.
Grab 24 more pretzel sticks and dip them each fully into the milk chocolate, and use a fork to pick them up and lightly tap the side of the pot to shake the excess chocolate off.
Place the fully dipped pretzel stick where the milk chocolate and white chocolate meet on the Snowman. This will act as the base of the top hat.
Carefully peel off the icing transfer and place on the top left corner.
Using the black icing, pipe eyes and a mouth.
Using the orange icing, pipe on the nose.
Let snowmen sit in the fridge for 1 hour before enjoying.

Melting Wafers: Sometimes I use the microwave for melting chocolate since it can save time. When I have lots of things to dip, though, I prefer the double-boiler, stovetop method. I generally don’t have to worry about scorching the chocolate, plus it holds the chocolate at the perfect, warm stage for lots of dipping.
Icing Transfers – These may be a little harder to find than the wafers, depending on where you live (though online is always an option). As an alternative, you can substitute holiday sprinkles like snowflakes or holly. Sprinkles will either need to be added carefully after dipping the hat so they’ll stick to the chocolate or you can attach them with a dot or two of cookie icing.
