Can I use milk chocolate instead of white chocolate?

Absolutely! Milk chocolate works great for this winter dessert—it'll give your bark a richer flavor that pairs nicely with the sweet marshmallows. Just keep an eye on it while melting since milk chocolate can burn more easily than white chocolate. Dark chocolate is another fun option if you want something less sweet!

How long does melted snowman chocolate bark take to set?

At room temperature, plan for about 30 minutes. If you're impatient like me (or dealing with little helpers who keep asking "Is it ready yet?"), pop it in the fridge for 15 minutes instead. The chocolate firms up faster when chilled—just don't leave it too long or your snowmen might get condensation "tears!"

Is this recipe actually kid-friendly?

Oh my gosh, YES! My kids adore helping with these holiday chocolate treats. They handle the marshmallow placement and sprinkles while I do the chocolate melting (hot bowl = mom job). Even toddlers can "draw" snowman faces with edible markers—messy smiles just add character! Just warn them the chocolate needs to cool before eating, or you'll have sneaky little fingers in your bark.
