- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 green onions chopped
Decoration & Serving
- 5 black peppercorns for eyes and buttons
- 1 baby carrot for nose

- Divide the mixture into three portions — small, medium, and large. Roll each into a ball and chill for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Stack the balls on a platter from largest to smallest to form a snowman shape. Use a toothpick to hold them together if needed.
- Add peppercorns for eyes and buttons, and a baby carrot for the nose. Use thin pretzel sticks for arms if you like.
- Serve with crackers or veggies, and watch it disappear from your Christmas party table.
Notes
- Make it a day ahead and chill until ready to serve.
- Add herbs like dill or parsley for added color and flavor.
- Let the cheese chill enough before shaping to help it hold its form.
