Slice the bottom of a tomato.

Use a knife or spoon to remove the seeds.

Top the tomato with a half bocconcini to make the hat.

Place the smallest mozzarella on top of the largest on the serving platter you intend to use.

Push a canapé stick through the hat first and then the mozzarella to keep the snowman in place.

Insert six cloves in the top mozzarella in the shape of a mouth.

You need three cloves in the bottom mozzarella for the buttons.

Trim a small piece of carrot into a triangle for the nose.

Add the candy eyes (you can also use cloves or peppercorns).

Arrange crackers around the snowman and serve.
