Chocolate Bark Ingredients
- Chocolate Chips: To make this bark healthier, I used Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips. You can use their milk chocolate or semi-sweet chips.
- Marshmallows: You’ll need 27 mini marshmallows for the snowmen’s bodies.
- Sprinkles: Use white nonpareil sprinkles for the snow.
- Pretzels: Add pretzel sticks for the snowmen’s arms.
- Edible Ink Markers: Use edible ink markers to draw the faces on the marshmallows. You can find them at craft stores, Amazon, or some supermarkets.
How to Make Snowman Chocolate Bark
- Prep: Draw faces on nine marshmallows and cut your pretzels into half- inch pieces.
- Melt the Chocolate: Microwave the chips, stirring every 30 seconds. The total time will vary depending on your microwave, but it should take about 1 ½ to 2 minutes.
- Create the Snowmen: Pour the melted chocolate into a 9-x-13-inch pan lined with parchment paper. Add the marshmallows and pretzel arms and then the sprinkles.
- Serve the Bark: Refrigerate the bark until hard and then break it into nine pieces.
Variations
- Hats: Give the snowmen hats by placing a Rolo or Reese’s cup cut in half above the marshmallow face.
- Markers: If you don’t want to buy edible markers, no worries—you can skip the face-drawing step.
- Chocolate Chips: Use regular chocolate chips or even white chocolate ones.
- Sprinkles: Swap white sprinkles with red and green.
- Peppermint: Stir in peppermint extract to the melted chocolate for a hint of mint. You could also sprinkle on crushed-up candy canes instead of sprinkles.

Prep: 15 minutes minsCook: 0 minutes minsrefrigeration time: 30 minutes minsTotal: 45 minutes mins Print Rate Pin Save Saved! WW Points Yield: 9 servings Serving Size: 1 ounce piece 1x2x3x
Ingredients
- 9 ounces sugar free chocolate chips, I used Lily’s
- 27 mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon White Nonpareils Sprinkles
- pretzel sticks cut into 1/2 inch pieces, for the arms (about 1 oz total)
- Edible ink markers, orange and black
Instructions
- Line a small 9 x 13-inch sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Using the edible markers, make a snowman face on 9 small marshmallows. Plan where you will be placing the snowman so they will be easy to cut equally later.
- Have your pretzels cut and ready because once the chocolate hardens they won’t stick.
- Pour the chocolate into a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate in the microwave, stirring the chocolate every 30 seconds to help avoid seizing.
- Once melted and smooth, set aside. This took me about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, but will vary with every microwave. When you’re ready, pour chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading with a rubber spatula into a smooth layer almost to the edge.
- Quickly add the marshmallows to create your snowmen, then add the pretzel arms and lastly add the sprinkles, for snow.
- Allow the bark to set completely in the refrigerator, about 30 minutes. Once hardened, break into 9 pieces about 1 ounce each.
