They are easy and great for serving a crowd. Top the toasted baguette with olive oil, pesto, or tomato slices before you add the snowmen. And if you prefer not to use candy eyes, try balsamic glaze, sesame seeds, or peppercorns.

Serving Suggestion

For even more fun, add a halved tomato and a mayo hat and arrange the snowmen on a large platter with my Christmas Bruschetta.
