Using buttered spatula or wax paper, evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Using cookie cutters coated with cooking spray cut eight 2 1/2-inch circles, eight 2-inch circles and eight 1 1/2-inch circles.

Place powdered sugar in shallow dish. Roll each circle in powdered sugar, coating all sides. For each snowman, stack a medium circle on top of a large circle. Top each medium circle with a small circle. Tint frosting black. Use to pipe eyes and mouth on each snowman (you may need to remove a little powdered sugar from the area where you are piping frosting). Pipe additional frosting on each snowman for buttons or press in currants for buttons. Wrap licorice string around each snowman for a scarf.

Place one KEEBLER FUDGE STRIPES cookie upside down on top of each for hat brim. Top with peanut butter cup upside down for hat crown, securing with frosting.
