Christmas Gnome Treats
Let’s learn just how easy these little holiday treats are to make. Perfect for busy parents who still want to bring the Christmas magic!
Ingredients
- Mini muffins
- White frosting
- M&M’s
- Strawberries
- Mini marshmallows
Instructions
Coat the tops of the mini muffins with white frosting to create a fluffy gnome beard.
Place a strawberry upside-down on top to form the gnome’s hat.
Press an M&M onto the frosting just under the strawberry hat to make the nose.
Use a small dab of frosting as glue to attach a mini marshmallow to the tip of the strawberry—instantly turning it into a Santa-style hat!
Tips & Variations
- Use flavored muffins like chocolate chip or gingerbread for an extra festive twist.
- Swap the frosting for whipped cream cheese if you prefer a less sweet option.
- Make a whole gnome village! Use different colors of M&M’s for fun personalities.
- Serve chilled to keep the frosting firm, especially if transporting them.
