- IMPORTANT: Our Pound Cake Formulas have changed. If your box has the maroon logo and NO egg in the preparation directions, follow the 2nd set of directions below.
- Prepare Absolutely Almond Pound Cake Mix according to package directions using water, butter and egg. Cool completely. In large bowl, crumble cake; mix with frosting until well combined. Form into 24 (2-inch) balls and 24 (1-inch) balls.
- In large microwave-safe bowl, melt almond bark according to package directions. Line a large baking sheet with waxed paper. Place several 2-inch balls into melted almond bark; using two forks, carefully remove balls, one at a time, and place on waxed paper. Repeat with several 1-inch balls and place on top of large balls. Repeat with remaining cake balls.
- Place baking sheet in the refrigerator for 3-5 minutes or just until almond bark is tacky but not firm. Remove from refrigerator. Place peanut butter cups, upside down, on snowmen to form hats. Return pan to refrigerator. Refrigerate until firm.
- To decorate, carefully pull the licorice apart into single strands. Tie each strand around the neck of each snowman to form scarves. Decorate as desired with black gel and orange frosting to form eyes, nose, mouth and buttons. Store in the refrigerator.
- Makes 24 snowmen.
