Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 12 unfrosted cupcakes, cooled

  • 1 ½ cups vanilla frosting

  • ½ cup red sprinkles

  • 1 (6 ounce) package white chocolate chips

  • 24 mini chocolate chips

  • 12 red candy-coated chocolate pieces (such as M&M's®)

  • ½ cup coconut flakes

Directions

  1. Frost each cupcake with a thin layer of vanilla frosting. Pour red sprinkles into a small bowl and dip the lower third of each frosted cupcake into the sugar to make Santa's hat. Create a white rim for the hat by placing about 6 white chocolate chips, flat-side up, at the edge of the red sugar section. Stick 1 white chocolate chip on the top as a pom-pom.

  2. Place 2 mini chocolate chips in Santa's face for the eyes and a red candy-coated chocolate piece for the nose. Sprinkle coconut flakes over the bottom third for the beard.

Cook's Note:

You can also use candy eyes instead of the mini chocolate chips.
