CLEVER CHRISTMAS TREATS

 

Because sometimes, the best part of holiday baking is doing something

simple in a clever way.

 

A simple cake mix & canned frosting are all you need to create this

collection of holiday characters. They're easy for kids to make.

For Santa, use fruit leather for his hat and mini marshmallows to create the

beard.

Create his reindeer by piping a dollop of chocolate frosting for the

muzzle and add pretzel antlers.

The snowman's hat is really clever. It's made by slicing and stacking a

chocolate peppermint.

And don't forget Santa's elves. Form their cute little ears from pink

chew candy.

You can turn simple sugar cookies into sophisticated treats by finishing

them off with edible gold and silver dust. Just mix it with lemon

extract and paint over frosted cookies. They’re elegant served with

coffee.

Everyone will love these Night before Christmas Mice. The only creature

stirring will be you in the kitchen. Shape the dough and add sliced

almonds for ears and a crunchy Chinese noodle for a tail.

And what could be easier than this? This Christmas train is made from

frozen pound cake, canned frosting and candies from the grocery store.

Just trim the cake into shape, frost and decorate.

So work smarter, not harder, and try these ideas for clever Christmas

treats.
