Our family dinner was to be on Christmas Eve, and the big question was what to serve as a Christmas dessert, that would be both novel and suitable for the small nieces and nephews.
It was finally decided to have a snow-man dessert which would meet the careful mother’s approval.

Apples were selected, or the desired size. They were cored and baked and set aside to cool.
A quick icing of powdered sugar and water was made very thick and spread over the apples, allowing some to run out on the plate.
While the icing was still soft, a marshmallow, upon which a face had been drawn with a toothpick dipped in liquid cake coloring, was placed for a head.
A chocolate dollar was stuck on the top of the head, for a hat brim, with some of the icing.
Just before serving, a well-drained maraschino cherry was put on top for the hat crown.
Gumdrops, on toothpicks, were iced and stuck on for arms. Buttons were painted down the front of each snow-man with the cake coloring. Tiny red and green gumdrops were placed in the outer edge of the snow about the snow-man as he stood on the green glass salad plate.
