Christmas Snack Ideas

Look at all the yummy Christmas Snack ideas that I found… Now I know what I can bring to our Family Christmas Eve Party and the kids can even help…. Thought you may like some ideas, too….

Crunchy the Snowman:

Ingredients

• bag of 8-inch pretzel rods
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• mini chocolate chips
• orange decorators’ gel

• fruit leather (various colors)
• gummy rings
• gumdrops

Instructions

To make a batch, melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler.

One at a time, dip one end of an 8-inch pretzel rod in the melted chocolate and use a plastic spoon or knife to spread the chocolate two thirds of the way down the rod.

Set the pretzels on a sheet of waxed paper and press on mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons. Use orange decorators’ gel to add a carrot nose.

When the chocolate has hardened, stand the pretzels in a mug or glass and tie on strips of fruit leather for scarves. For each hat, stretch a gummy ring over the narrow end of a gumdrop and secure it on the pretzel rod with a dab of melted chocolate

How about Pickles in a Blanket?

Ingredients

• 12 thin slices Genoa salami
• 1/3 cup whipped cream cheese

• 12 jarred mini gherkin pickles (also called cornichons), drained, plus more if needed

Instructions

2. Place a gherkin pickle or two in the center of a salami slice. Roll up each salami slice, jelly-roll style.
