    While the snowmen are chilling, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Melt the dark chocolate similarly in a separate small bowl.

    Place the white chocolate-covered snowmen back on the parchment-lined tray. While the white chocolate is still wet, use the melted dark chocolate in a piping bag or a toothpick to create eyes, buttons, and arms. Add a small piece of persimmon (or carrot/orange candy) for the nose.

    Work quickly before the white chocolate sets. A small Ziploc bag with a tiny corner snipped off can act as a makeshift piping bag for the dark chocolate.
