Ingredients
12ozred candy melts
12ozturquoise or blue candy melts
24Oreo cookies
¼cupwhite nonpareils
12ozwhite candy melts
7.6ozMini Reese’s peanut butter cupsyou will not need them all
Additional red and white sanding sugar for non snow-globe cookies
Instructions
Heat and stir the red and blue candy melts, in separate bowls, according to package instructions for the microwave, until melted.
Use a toothpick or fork to dip a cookie into the melted background color candy (red or blue), coating both sides. Tap off the excess candy and place cookie on a sheet of parchment paper.
Immediately sprinkle white nonpareils over the cookie to create “swirling snow.”
Repeat to make 12 red and 12 blue dipped cookies. Allow the dipped cookies to harden completely.
Meanwhile, melt the white candy melts, following the same instructions (typically heat in 15-30 second increments).
Dip one edge of a hardened blue or red cookie into the white candy melts to form the bottom “snow” layer.
Attach the bottom of a mini peanut butter cup to the base of the cookie.
Sprinkle with additional white nonpareils to form a “settled snow” layer. Allow candy to set.
Use a small round piping tip attached to the green icing to draw two trees in the center of the snow globe.
You can make triangles or make a series of upside down V’s to mimic the layers of a tree.
Sprinkle red nonpareils over the piped tree and place a star candy at the top.
We also dipped some red and white cookies and sprinkled with matching sanding sugar to add a little variety amongst the snow globe cookies. This is optional, of course.
Notes
Wilton No. 5 piping tip worked best for making the trees.
