# Directions:
01 - Combine cream cheese, sour cream, chopped chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl for serving alongside a separate bowl of hummus.
02 - Thread each mini pretzel rod through three pretzel rounds, positioning the yogurt-covered pretzel as the head and two plain rounds as the body. Press mini chocolate chips into the yogurt pretzel to create eyes and buttons, add a carrot triangle for the nose, and wrap a red bell pepper slice around the neck as a scarf. Optionally, use the edible marker to draw a mouth.
03 - Place all snowmen on a large serving platter, position the bowls with prepared dips nearby, and embellish with fresh parsley sprigs and halved cherry tomatoes for color and appeal.
04 - Present the platter fresh to guests and enjoy the festive snack.
