Ingredients
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 24 fudge-striped cookies
- 24 Reese’s dark chocolate miniature cups
- Red, orange, and yellow mini M&Ms
Instructions
- Line a large baking tray or cutting board with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter and white chocolate chips on a low or defrost setting, stirring often until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture into a piping bag and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Place the fudge-striped cookies striped side down on the parchment paper.
- Snip the tip of the piping bag and pipe a small circle of the melted mixture into the center of each cookie.
- Place a Reese’s miniature cup upside down on top of the piped mixture and press gently to create a “hat band.”
- Press a mini M&M onto the hat band to form a buckle.
- Let the cookies set completely. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes if needed.
Notes
- Use smooth peanut butter for best melting results and a creamy texture.
- Chill the assembled cookies to help them set quickly and firmly.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 3 days.
