How to Make These Adorable Wafter Santas
This recipe for Santa wafer cookies makes 24 so you can make them for holiday parties when you want to bring a cute Christmas sweet treat.
Prep time: 30 minutes — Cooling time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 24 wafer cookies (you can use vanilla wafers, chocolate, or any flavor)
- 12 ounces of white candy melts
- 1 container of red sugar crystals
- 24 mini marshmallows
- 48 mini chocolate chips
- 24 red M&Ms
Instructions:
- In a bowl, melt the white chocolate candy melts according to the package instructions.
- Dip each wafer cookie in the melted candy until it’s fully coated. We used a fork to remove the cookie from the melted candy. We then lightly tapped the fork on the edge of the bowl so that it knocked off the excess chocolate.
- Place the white chocolate-covered cookie on a piece of parchment paper and immediately decorate the top half of the cookie with the red sugar crystals. Don’t wait until it dries because then the sugar crystals won’t stick!
- Next, place one mini marshmallow at the top of the cookie.
- Add two mini chocolate chips for Santa’s eyes and one red M&M for Santa’s nose.
- Allow the chocolate to cool and harden for at least 30 minutes before serving.
