Another fun gift I made last year for the kids class was Santa Claus made from Nutter Butter Cookies. I found SEVERAL ideas to do this, I will give credit to Taste of Home. But like normal I tweaked them just a little to be my creation.
Ingredients
- Unsweetened Coconut
- 1 package (1 pound) Nutter Butter sandwich cookies
- Red Candy Melts
- vanilla or white chips (I used White Candy Melts)
- Miniature semisweet chocolate chips
- 32 red-hot candies
Directions
- 1. In a microwave, melt white chocolate at 70% power for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Place on wire racks.
- 2. Dip other end of each cookie into melted chocolate for beard, leaving around half the cookie uncovered. Before it dries, dip into coconut. Place on wire racks.
- 3. In a microwave, melt red melts at 70% power for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. For Santa's hat, dip into red melts on top part of cookie. Press one vanilla chip off-center on hat for pompom, OR with pipping bag put a little white chocolate dot; let stand until set. Leave the center of the cookie uncovered to make the face. With a dab of melted chocolate, attach semisweet chips for eyes and a red-hot for nose. Place on waxed paper until set.
Have a GREAT Weekend!!
