TREATING ST. NICK
Grab these crispy munchies before they dash away, dash away,
dash away all!
Dear Santa,
I’ve made you some crispy
marshmallow-cereal treats that I’ve cut into happy holiday shapes. I piped them
with decorating icings and used colored sugars, confetti, and sprinkles to
finish them off. I even made a snow-covered chimney, just for you, Santa! Take
some goodies for everyone at the Pole to celebrate the holiday. Be sure to come back next year!
The kid in all of us wants to leave something special for
Santa. This year, the Wilton Test
Kitchens offer an alternative to traditional cookies with festive Crispy Canes
& Holiday Treats and Santa’s Chimney Treats. Kids will love making them and Santa will
love eating them. The holiday shapes are
a snap to make with cookie cutters, and the cute chimney is built by cutting
the treats into squares and pressing them together. White cookie icing outlines the bricks and
makes the snow-covered top. A simple
Santa-shaped icing decoration adds the finishing touch.
Now just pour that glass of milk and set out the treats for
Santa…he’ll take it from there.
