Elevate store-bought cookies with festive decorations for a ski-themed treat!
Ingredients:
  • 30 fruit-flavored ring-shaped gummy candies (from 7-oz package)
  • 10 (2 1/2-inch) gingerbread man cookies (from 5-oz package)
  • 1 roll Betty Crocker™ Fruit by the Foot™ chewy fruit-flavored snack (from 6-roll box)
  • 20 pretzel sticks
  • 1 cup white vanilla baking chips
  • 20 red cinnamon candies
  • 20 miniature chocolate chips
  • 10 gingersnap cookies (from 16-oz box)
  • 20 (3-inch) candy canes
Instructions:
  • Prepare your workspace by laying out a large sheet of waxed paper. Carefully place one candy ring over the head of a gingerbread man to create a hat, repeating this process nine times. Unroll the fruit snack and cut it into 5-inch pieces along the perforations. Wrap a 5-inch piece of fruit snack around the neck of each gingerbread man, twisting it in the center to create a scarf. Secure the scarf by gently pressing it together. Finally, place a candy ring near one end of each pretzel stick to create ski poles.
  • In a small resealable freezer plastic bag, add white vanilla baking chips. Microwave on High for 45 seconds, flipping the bag over after 30 seconds. Massage the bag until the chips are melted and smooth (if needed, microwave in 15-second intervals until smooth). Snip a small corner off the bag.
  • Using melted chocolate chips as edible glue, carefully place a small dot in the middle of the face and attach 1 cinnamon candy to create the nose. Then, add 2 small dots above the nose and attach 2 miniature chocolate chips to form the eyes. Next, apply a small amount of melted chocolate to secure the candy rings onto the pretzels at the bottom. Use a small amount on top of the head to hold the candy ring in place and place a cinnamon candy on top. For the hands, squeeze a small amount of melted chocolate and attach pretzel ski poles, positioning them outward for the skis. Drizzle over the top of a round gingersnap cookie and place 2 miniature candy canes 1/2 inch apart, with their hook ends standing up. Repeat these steps for the remaining ski figures. Let them set for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • Microwave chips in bag until smooth, about 30 seconds. Squeeze a small amount on top of each candy cane ski, place a gingerbread man on top, and let set for about 30 minutes.
