Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 Cup white chocolate chips Melted for coating
  • ½ Cup creamy peanut butter For smooth piping
  • 24 pieces mini peanut butter cups (Reese’s dark chocolate) Upside down for the hats
  • 24 pieces Keebler fudge striped cookies Base for the hats
  • Mini M&Ms (red, yellow, and orange) For decoration

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a large chopping board or baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the white chocolate chips with peanut butter in the microwave using a low or defrost setting until smooth.
  3. Transfer the melted mixture into a piping bag, twist it shut, and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before snipping off the tip.
Assembly
  1. Place a fudge-striped cookie onto your baking sheet, stripe side facing down.
  2. Pipe the chocolate-peanut butter mixture into the middle of the cookie, creating a circle for the peanut butter cup.
  3. Gently place a mini peanut butter cup upside down on the circle and press down slightly.
  4. Top the peanut butter cup with a mini M&M for a buckle.
  5. Repeat the process until all cookies are assembled.
  6. Allow the cookies to set completely before serving.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Warm in microwave for 10-15 seconds for a gooey texture. Leftovers can be crumbled over ice cream.
