Preheat oven to 375°F. In large bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; beat in vanilla. In medium bowl combine flour and salt; add to creamed mixture. Stir in 3/4 cup "M&M's"® Chocolate Mini Baking Bits. Divide dough into 12 equal sections. Roll each section into 3 balls, large, medium and small for each snowman.

Decorate with remaining 1/4 cup "M&M's"® Chocolate Mini Baking Bits to look like snowmen. Store in tightly covered container.
