Original Melting Olaf Frozen Party Food

When Olaf said, “Some people are worth melting for” didn’t that just melt your heart? Me too! It also gave me a great party food idea…Melting Olaf Greek Yogurt cups! See how easy they are to make for your Frozen Party!
 

Looking for a healthy and delicious alternative to serve at your Frozen party? Try my original Melting Olaf Greek Yogurt cups! These mini “Melted Olaf” cups were a big hit at my daughter’s Frozen party a few years ago and are really easy to make.

Original Melting Olaf Frozen Party Food

Here is what you need to make the Melting Olaf yogurt cups:

  • Chocolate for melting (arms & hair)
  • Yogurt or vanilla pudding (snow)
  • Mike & Ike candy, just the orange ones (nose)
  • Mini chocolate morsels (coal)
  • Royal icing eyes 

Several days before the party make the chocolate arms and hair twigs. Slowly melt the chocolate over a double boiler and then once melted poured some in a parchment paper pastry bag. Leave just a small opening for the tip because you want more control over the chocolate lines. Draw the arms and hair free hand on parchment paper. You could create a template for yourself if you needed lines to follow. Let them set over night and then carefully transfer to an airtight container until you are ready to use them. They are pretty brittle so just be careful when handling or transporting them.

Day of the party tip: My 12 year old son and his friend put the cups together right before the party started.  Once you have your yogurt in the cup you can place the Olaf pieces in however you want. All I told the boys was that it should look like he was melting.  At first they thought it was mean but then they got into it and had a lot of fun making him “melt”.  The Mike & Ike candy will start to run actually so take pictures quickly!  Both kids and adults enjoyed this treat and thought it was pretty funny too.
