Christmas is almost here and the cookies and holiday snack are in full swing. If you are looking for even more Christmas recipes to try, give these Santa Coat Pretzel Cookies a shot.
So easy the kids can do these and enjoy being in the kitchen with you. I am always trying to get the kids interacting with family activities. These are the perfect way to let them get their hands dirty, per say.
What You Need
1 ½ cup Red Candy Melts/Discs
Wilton’s Decorating Santa’s belt/Coat Kit
24 Square Waffle Style Pretzels
Wilton’s Dab & Hold edible adhesive
How to make Santa Coat Pretzel Cookies
Take the black candy stripes and cut 24 stripes to 1.5 inches.
Take your edible adhesive (you can use any type of edible adhesive you’d like…frosting, chocolate, etc.) and line one side of the belt buckle. Place buckle in the middle of the black candy strip. Let dry
Now take your red candy discs and put in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue to do this until discs are all melted.
Dip each pretzel in the red chocolate. Get a nice even coat and lay on parchment lined cookie sheet. (If chocolate is a little thick then just take a small knife and spread around the top of the pretzel to get that nice coat).
Add the belt and buttons to each pretzel as you take them out of the chocolate.
Let dry for about 10-15 minutes. Then they’re ready to serve!
What other Santa Coat activities do you do in your home?
