Snowman Treat Holder DIY

If you want a holiday project that brings instant giggles and a tiny bit of chocolate-powered joy, this snowman treat holder is your new best friend.

And yes, this idea works with both Lindt balls and Ferrero Rocher. Already a winner, right?

Imagine handing someone a snowman that hides chocolate in his belly. Suddenly, your handmade holiday treats become the talk of every stocking, table setting and staff room. This little guy packs charm, whimsy and ooey-gooey goodies all in one adorable package.

Wanna skip right to the good stuff? I shared a bunch of tips to make these fellas in our Ink Paper Play Live!

The Heart of This Frosty Project

Here’s the fun part. Every snowman ends up with its own little personality. Tall hat or short hat. Glittery scarf or stripy scarf. Googly eyes or hand-drawn charm. They’re the perfect mix of whimsy and polish, and they use up some of those small coloured scraps you’ve been saving for “the perfect project”.

And you know what? This is that perfect project.

Why You’ll Love This Snowman Treat Holder

The whole magic of this design is in how quick it is to put together. You get maximum cuteness for minimal time, which is always a good December crafting formula. And because the belly opening fits both Lindt balls and Ferrero Rocher, you can mix and match depending on how fancy you’re feeling.

Want the real bonus?

It’s all in the little tips and tricks I share during Ink Paper Play LIVE, and today’s project is packed with them. Instead of walking you through it here, click over to the replay so you can see exactly how my versions come together, plus a few alternatives that will spark even more ideas.

These are super adorable…and so much fun to design!

How to Make This Idea Your Own

Once you understand the simple base shape, your creative brain will take over.

Try these playful twists:

• Give each snowman a different personality with hats, scarves and expressions.
• Match your colours to your wrapping paper or place settings.
• Turn them into hanging tags, ornaments or table favours.
• Create a snowman family for gifting. (The “dad” snowman should probably have the biggest Ferrero belly 😂)

With this version, I played around with some googly eyes and the Ferraro Rocher chocolates. I love his frilly tummy!

If you remember my Merci Chocolate Holder that continues to be one of my most-visited posts, you’ll love how this new design fits right into that same “simple, clever, giftable” category. Take a peek at that one here for even more gifting inspiration.

And if you love my Snowman Lindt Treat Holder, this one uses the same clever idea with a seasonal twist for Valentines!.
