Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package Fudge Stripe Cookies (10-12 cookies)
  • 10-12 Mini Peanut Butter Cups unwrapped
  • 0.5 cup Chocolate Frosting or melting chocolate wafers
  • 10-12 Yellow or Orange Sprinkles small rectangle/square sprinkles (for buckle)

Equipment

  • Plate or Tray
  • Small Knife

Method
 

Assembly
  1. Place fudge stripe cookies upside down on a flat surface, ensuring the chocolate-striped side is facing down.
  2. Apply a small dollop of chocolate frosting to the center of each cookie, then firmly press an unwrapped mini peanut butter cup onto the frosting to create the hat shape.
  3. Carefully place a single yellow or orange rectangle sprinkle on the front of each peanut butter cup to resemble a hat buckle.

Notes

For best results, allow the frosting to set slightly before handling or serving. You can also use melted chocolate instead of frosting to attach the peanut butter cups for a firmer hold.
