Riddle me this. 
When snowmen melt, consider where the snow goes? 
Right back on the ground right? 
Who are snowmen's worst enemies? 
Yep reindeer, because once snowmen melt well, reindeer droppings happen when they walkabout!
Today, ladies and gentlemen, I can't wait to share my melted snowmen with reindeer droppings because it's the best tasting cookie of the season and FUN!
When my kids were younger, anything to do with doo-doo was hysterical, and honestly, it is so funny to hear them laugh and chatter about it. 
Melted snowmen with reindeer droppings literally came about when my kids lined up for cookies and then saw these. 
You might call them S'More Explosion Cookies, but they said, "Mommy, the snowmen melted the reindeers pooed on them!
Yep, from the mouths of babes, comes on of my most sought after, easy-to-create recipes.
