    Chocolate Pilgrim Hats For Thanksgiving

    M&M Chocolate Pilgrim Hats

    I’m getting this posted quite late in the day but I was setting up for a boutique sale at my sister’s house today!  With Thanksgiving only 2 weeks away, I thought it would be fun to post a tasty project for the kids to help make.

    candy

    Basically, this recipes needs a lot of chocolate:  large peanut butter cups, small peanut butter cups, mini M&M’s and chocolate chips.

    attaching peanut butter cups

    Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave and use a dab of the melted chocolate to attach the small peanut butter cup to the large peanut butter cup.

    adding melted chocolate

    Pipe a line of melted chocolate around the small peanut butter cup.  I used a sandwich baggie with the corner cut off.

    adding mini m&ms

    Place the mini M&Ms in the piped chocolate.  I used a contrasting M&M as the buckle.

    Just be warned, if you make the same these now, they probably won’t last until Thanksgiving!

      Oh Tonia! They’re are so darn cute. That’s definitely one holiday we don’t celebrate here in Australia and that’s Thanksgiving Day but I’d definitely love to try those hats. Reece’s Peanut Butter cups are one of my favourites.Anne xx
