Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces fudge-striped cookies
- 12 pieces chocolate peanut butter cups
- 1 tube yellow icing or decorating gel
- 0.5 cup chocolate frosting
Instructions
Gather all ingredients and prepare a clean workspace.
Place the fudge-striped cookies striped-side down on a flat surface or serving platter. These cookies will form the base of your Pilgrim Hats.
Unwrap the chocolate peanut butter cups.
Using a small knife or spatula, spread a small amount of chocolate frosting onto the wide end of each peanut butter cup.
Gently press the frosted end of the peanut butter cup onto the center of each fudge-striped cookie. The frosting will act as glue to secure the cup in place.
Using the yellow icing or decorating gel, pipe a small square shape at the seam where the peanut butter cup meets the cookie to mimic a hat buckle.
Repeat the process until all 12 cookies are decorated to look like Pilgrim Hats.
Allow the cookies to sit for a few minutes to let the frosting and icing set.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
