Ingredients
  

Cookie Base and Toppings
  • 24 Keebler fudge striped cookies Provides the perfect sturdy base.
  • 24 pieces mini peanut butter cups (Reese’s dark chocolate) The iconic topping.
  • mini M&Ms red, yellow, and orange Adds a festive touch.
Filling
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips The melted base for creamy texture.
  • ½ cup peanut butter Use creamy or crunchy, at room temperature.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a large chopping board or baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave on low power in 30-second intervals until smooth—about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Transfer the melted mixture into a piping bag and cool for about 5 minutes.
  4. Place a fudge striped cookie on the prepared sheet, stripe side facing down.
  5. Pipe a circular amount of the white chocolate mixture in the center of the cookie, about the size of a mini peanut butter cup.
  6. Press a mini peanut butter cup upside down into the center of the chocolate circle.
  7. Place an M&M on the white chocolate band to mimic the buckle of a pilgrim's hat.
  8. Repeat until all cookies are assembled and allow them to set completely at room temperature.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For the best texture, microwave the filling if it thickens too much while cooling.
