Another very easy treat. Cut tops off of strawberries. Toss these and then cut the tip off but keep these. Pipe whipped cream and place cap back on top of this. Place two dots of whipped cream to make buttons. Then top the cap with whipped cream to make a puff on Santa’s hat. With the tip of a toothpick touch the whipped cream with a dot of black food coloring. Serve.
Who doesn’t like easy – quick – delicious and very pleasing to the eye?
The hardest thing about this is to locate circle pretzels which took a look at three different stores before I found them at Target. I also purchased Hershey Kisses and red and green M&M’s.
I placed the circle pretzels out on a cookie tin and put on as many as would fit. I then unwrapped Hershey Kisses and placed one in each circle. I then put then in a preheated over on 200 degrees for about four minutes. You are done when you can push the Hershey Kiss down.
I then placed one M&M down on the top of the Hershey Kiss and used the back of a spoon to press it all the way down. Then I let them cool.
You are done – so cool and delicious that i now need to make more – opps!
How cool and how SIMPLE! Do we love it? YES!
Make your favorite sugar cookie recipe. Make your favorite sugar cookie icing recipe when cookies are cooled and make a “puddle” that looks like the snowman has already melted. While the icing is still wet, stick a marshmallow to one side. Let icing dry. Use a red/orange candy sprinkle for the nose and black icing to make eyes, mouth and arms. Use blue icing for the scarf (or change this color up) and green for buttons (or change this color up as well).
I told you it was simple – and it looks so cool you people will think you took a lot of time to create your masterpieces.
Thanksgiving Day Pilgrim Cookie
~Turn fudge stripped cookies upside down
~Hold Reece’s candy with the top facing down and pipe icing on the top of cookie
~Stick the Reece’s on top of icing
~Pipe orange icing around base to make a nice finish and add a buckle design on the front
~Use a small zip lock bag with tip cut off to pipe for these cookies and save money by not using the expensive icing bags
~Instead of fudge stripped cookies use the cookie parts of Oreo’s and enjoy the insides while preparing these cookies
You will need Oreos, chocolate chips (for melting), Flipz chocolate covered pretzels, candy corn, royal icing and black gel food coloring
-sort pretzels to pull all the whole ones and put them in a triangle fashion just like the picture shows so they are ready to go – you will need to act fast and a second pair of hands will be very helpful because you will have to do this before the chocolate cools
-put the candy corn (or what you will use for the nose to one side to have easy access
-melt chocolate or candy melt in a candy melting pot or follow instructions for microwave. Try the richness of using real chocolate – once you are successful you will realize how easy (and better tasting) it is and will never go back to using candy melts again
-dip and roll the Oreo so all sides are covered and place one on top of each triangle of pretzels and push down
-quickly push down the candy corn
-pipe on white royal icing to form whites of eyes
-Pipe on black of eyes
