Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 12 pieces fudge stripe cookies Chocolate-striped shortbread cookies with a center hole
  • 12 pieces regular-size peanut butter cups Unwrapped (freeze for 15 minutes first for easier unwrapping)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla frosting About 1 tube or 1/2 cup
  • 1 tablespoon festive sprinkles or sparkling sugar For decoration
  • 12 pieces candy-coated peanut butter pieces For the buckles

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Unwrap the peanut butter cups and line up the fudge stripe cookies with the chocolate side facing up.
  2. Use a small round tip or a zip-top bag with one corner snipped off to pipe a thin ring of vanilla frosting around the flat bottom edge of each peanut butter cup.
  3. Press each peanut butter cup, flat side down, onto the center of a cookie.
  4. Sprinkle the wet frosting band with festive sprinkles or sparkling sugar.
  5. Dab a tiny bit of frosting on each candy-coated peanut butter piece and place it on the front of the hat as the buckle.
  6. Let the cookies set for about 15 minutes before moving them.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 2 months. Let cookies come to room temperature before serving if stored in the fridge.
