When it comes to decorating any holiday treat with frosting, pastry bags are where it’s at. They allow you to pipe the frosting with precision and add a decorative flare to cookies and cake. Making homemade frosting and filling your own piping bags can be a little bit of a hassle though. When you are looking for a quick fix for you and the family, these new Pillsbury™ Filled Pastry Bags are a lifesaver!
The Pillsbury™ Filled Pastry Bag Chocolate Fudge Frosting is all packaged up in convenient piping bags and ready to use. Simply rip the plastic end off the bag and you can get right to work. I used the Pillsbury™ Filled Pastry Bag Chocolate Fudge Frosting to pipe frosting onto the pretzels and DOVE chocolates to assemble the reindeer treats. This is a fun and easy activity that the family will enjoy helping with too!
After all of your reindeer treats are assembled, allow them to dry overnight. When you are ready to assemble the Peanut Brrr-ittle M&M’S® Reindeer Snack Mix, whip up a quick batch of Rice Krispie Treats using the Holiday Rice Krispies. After they cool for a bit, cut them into small pieces and combine them with the reindeer treats.
You could just bring a big bowl of these Rice Krispies Reindeer Snack Mix to share with friends or you can package them up in these adorable gift bags with the free printable included below. It adds a fun and personal touch to the package when gifting.
If you are looking for another great option to bring for an easy and festive treat at your next holiday gathering, these Holiday Rice Krispie Treats are perfect for sharing! Simply make a batch of Rice Krispie Treats using the recipe below and after they have chilled for 10 minutes, cut out holiday shapes using cookie cutters.
Decorate the Rice Krispie Treats using the Pillsbury Vanilla and Fudge Filled Pastry Bags and M&M’S® Peanut Butter Brrr-ittle candies. This is another great opportunity for the family to pitch in with their decorating skills!
