Santa's Snacks & Stuff

Ingredients:

* 10 Oreo cookies (regular, white chocolate covered, or Christmas Oreos)

* 10 miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

* 10–12 oz white chocolate or almond bark (if your cookies are not already covered in white chocolate)

* White sanding sugar, edible glitter, or coconut flakes (for the “snow”)

* Royal icing decorations or sugar decorations (Santa faces, reindeer faces, snowflakes, trees, etc.)

* Red and green sprinkles or holly-shaped sprinkles

Instructions:

1. Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.

2. Melt the white chocolate until smooth.

3. Using a fork, dip each Oreo into the melted white chocolate, coating it completely. Tap off the excess and place it on the parchment paper.

4. Before the chocolate hardens:

* Sprinkle the entire cookie with white sanding sugar, edible glitter, or finely shredded coconut to create the snowy look.

* Place your Santa or reindeer candy decoration near the top center.

* Add holly sprinkles or red and green candies around the decoration.

5. Melt a little more white chocolate and place a dollop on the flat side of a mini Reese’s cup.

6. Press the bottom edge of the Oreo onto the Reese’s cup so it stands upright like a snow globe.

7. Allow everything to harden for 15–20 minutes before serving.
