Ingredients
- ½ cup 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
- Start by lining a large baking tray or cutting board with parchment paper. This will make cleanup super easy!
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your peanut butter and white chocolate chips on a low or defrost setting. Stir the mixture often until it's smooth and creamy. Once melted, transfer the mixture into a piping bag and let it cool for about 5 minutes—just enough time for it to be easy to handle but not too thick.
- Take your fudge striped cookies and place them striped side down on the parchment paper. These will be the base of your Pilgrim Hats.
- Snip the tip off your piping bag and pipe a small circle of the melted peanut butter-white chocolate mixture into the center of each cookie. The circle should be about the size of a Reese’s miniature cup—this will act as the "glue" for your Pilgrim Hat.
- Place a Reese’s miniature cup upside down (large side down) on top of the piped mixture, pressing gently so that the peanut butter mixture forms a "hat band" around the base of the cup.
- For the finishing touch, press a mini M&M onto the hat band to create a cute little buckle. How adorable is that?!
- Now, let your Pilgrim Hats set completely. You can pop them into the fridge for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process. Once the peanut butter and white chocolate mixture hardens, these hats will hold their shape perfectly.
