Ingredients

13 oz white chocolate, chopped + 3 oz melted
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup dried sweetened cranberries, finely chopped
1/3 cup unsalted pistachios, toasted, finely chopped
3 oz dark chocolate, melted
None None sprinkles
2 1/2 tbsp desiccated coconut
4-5 None jelly beans, 3 halved, remainder sliced into 12 pieces
6 None white marshmallows

Preparation

Heat chopped white chocolate and cream over very low heat, stirring, until melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and add cranberries and pistachios. Transfer to a clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap and chill, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour, or until firm.
Meanwhile, line 2 baking trays with parchment paper. Transfer melted dark chocolate to a piping bag. Pipe 12 - 3/4 inch \"arms\" and 6 - 2 inch discs for \"hats.\" Coat hats with sprinkles. Set aside until hardened.
Roll chilled white chocolate mixture into 6 - \"large\" (1 1/2 tbsp) balls, 6 - \"medium\" (1 tbsp) balls and 6 - \"small\" (1 1/2 tsp) balls. Roll in coconut then place on a lined baking sheet and chill for 5 mins, until set.
To assemble snowmen, transfer melted white chocolate to a small piping bag. Glue large, medium and small balls together with a little melted chocolate to form 6 snowmen. Attach arms. Glue on halved jelly beans for noses and sliced jelly beans for eyes. Glue a marshmallow onto each sprinkled disc to finish the hat.
