The first recipe we made was the polar bear rice cakes. The recipe can be found on the momstown meals website, click here. We used cream cheese for the white face and chocolate oat cereal o's for the eyes. When the polar bears were done, we talked about the climate that polar bears live in and so of course snowball cookies would be a perfect compliment!
Snowball cookies are a great no bake recipe. Here is the recipe we used:
Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons peanut butter or sunbutter
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the oats, sugar and cocoa. With clean hands, mix in the water, vanilla, butter and peanut butter/sunbutter to form a dough.
Wash hands, then roll the dough into balls 1 to 2 inches in diameter. Roll balls in confectioners’ sugar until thickly coated.
Chill 20 minutes before serving.

Adorable! Of course I appreciate the recipe since I blog for SunButter sunflower seed butter and am always looking for new nut-free recipes. But I love snow, and can't wait to celebrate our latest snowstorm with these delicious snowballs! Thanks for the clever inspiration.
