No Bake Christmas Wreath Cookie
No Bake Christmas Wreath Cookie
"I love how this no-bake recipe is easy, tasty and ornamental. Customize your cookies with different candies and toppings and have fun!" - Brian Sung, Corporate Pastry Chef
Ingredients
- 1 bag Mini pretzel twists
- 1 pack Strawberry belts
- 1 pack M&M's
- 3 bars Maika'i 72% Dark Chocolate Bar
- 1/4 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Break up 2 1/3 of the chocolate bars along the demarcation lines. Set aside.
- Using the longest strawberry belts, strip them in long pieces and tie bows.
- In a microwave safe container, melt the 2 1/3 bars in 15 second increments, while stirring in between. Once the chocolate is completely melted, break the partial 3rd bar into pieces and put in melted chocolate. Continue to stir until chocolate is dissolved, and a little cooler than surface body temp (89F or lower).
- Using a spoon, place a small dollop of chocolate on parchment paper and make a circle.
- Arrange your candies in a clock like pattern and place the bow in the middle. Allow to set. (place in fridge to allow to set faster)
- On a separate piece of parchment, place another circle of chocolate and place 4 pretzels inside the circle to form a “flower”.
- Drizzle more chocolate on top of the “flower” and repeat with 4 more pretzels.
- Drizzle more chocolate on the double stack of pretzels and place the set disc of chocolate with candies on top. Allow to set.
- Once set, dust with powdered sugar.
- Use another piece of belt to make a string to hang the cookie if you wish.
