Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 12 oz package of Pinwheel Cookies (marshmallow chocolate)
Decorations
- 2 oz Twizzlers Pull and Peel (12 individual strings)
- 6 oz Green Melting Chocolate Wafers (about half a bag)
- Green and Red Christmas Sprinkles (quantity as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookies: Arrange the 12 oz package of pinwheel marshmallow chocolate cookies on a clean workspace to get ready for decorating.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 6 oz of green melting chocolate wafers in short 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
- Apply Chocolate to Cookies: Using a small spoon or piping bag, spread or pipe the melted green chocolate over the cookies in a circular wreath shape to cover the edges evenly.
- Decorate with Twizzlers: Cut the Twizzlers Pull and Peel into small strips and twist or shape them into bows or other festive shapes, then place them on the melted chocolate while it is still wet to secure in place.
- Add Sprinkles: Sprinkle green and red Christmas sprinkles generously over the melted chocolate and Twizzlers to mimic the look of holly berries and add festive color.
- Set the Decorations: Allow the cookies to sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes so the green chocolate hardens and decorations set firmly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, arrange the wreath cookies on a platter and serve as a sweet holiday treat for family and friends.
Notes
- Make sure to melt the chocolate slowly to avoid burning and ensure a smooth texture.
- Use parchment paper to place cookies on during decorating to prevent sticking.
- Customize decorations by using other colored sprinkles or candies if desired.
- Store finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
