Santa Strawberries

Oh my goodness........These are so cute!!
Keep this one for Christmas!!!!!

✿♥✿ Santa Strawberries ✿♥✿

Ingredients:
1 dozen strawberries
1 cup whipped cream
a handful of chocolate sprinkles

Directions:
Using a paring knife, slice the leafy end off each strawberry so they stand up evenly. Then slice the tip off to make a little hat.
Using a spoon or a large icing tip, place a large dollop (about 1-2 tsp) of whipped cream on top of the strawberry base. Plop the little hat on top. Add another small dollop of whipped cream to the tip of the hat to make a mock pom-pom.
Place two chocolate sprinkles in the Santa’s "face" for the eyes. Using a toothpick, place two very small splotches of whipped cream down the front of the strawberry for buttons.

You're done! It's that easy. If you don't eat them right away, store them in the fridge to keep them cold. Santa doesn't do well with heat.

Chocolate Acorns

Chocolate Acorns

Ingredients

• 36 whole Hersey's Chocolate Kisses
• 36 whole Bite Size Nutter Butter Cookies
• ¾ cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Preparation Instructions

1. Unwrap the Hersey Kisses and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, melt 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips in the microwave for 2 minutes on 50% power. Stir until smooth.
3. Using the end of a knife, dab the melted chocolate onto the top of each Nutter Butter. Push the flat bottom of the Kiss into the chocolate and onto the cookie. Place it (cookie side down) onto a baking sheet to harden. Repeat with remaining Kisses.
4. When finished “gluing” the Kisses and cookies together, use the remaining melted chocolate, in the same process as above, to stick the remaining chocolate chips onto the top of the acorns to create stems (see photo).
5. Pop one in your mouth and ENJOY!!!

Others have suggested using peanut butter for the "glue" instead of melting chocolate chips. Someone said these are really good, especially if using the caramel kisses.
