Santa's Hat

Ingredients:

Brownies

Fresh Strawberries

Marscapone Buttercream

Basically make a pan of your favorite brownie recipe 

- use a cutter to make circles.

Make Mascarpone Buttercream (recipe here: http://bit.ly/v4Z8J8) 

Pipe ring of mascarpone buttercream, 

Top with strawberry that you have cut the stem off of 

and pipe a dollop on top of the strawberry "hat" to finish.

the Red Nosed

Reindeer Pop

Not sure where the CuisinEtc culinary team found this one but it seems to be a chocolate covered marshmallow with pretzel ears and red hot candy nose - you can get candy eyes in a candy supply store but if not a white candy with black food coloring should do the trick.

Sweet and Salty
Around the holidays you often find speciality shaped pretzels - this holiday treat is a riff on the buckeye cookie....made with tree shaped and bell shaped pretzels sandwiching a peanut butter filling and dipped in chocolate.

Use your favorite buckeye cookie recipe (smooth peanut butter, sugar, butter creamed together) and this no bake recipe could become a new family favorite.
