Ingredients
- Bugles snacks
- White chocolate chips
- Red and green sprinkles
- Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to create a clean workspace for decorating.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval until smooth and completely melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
- Hold each Bugle snack by its wider end and carefully dip the narrow point into the melted white chocolate, ensuring an even coating that represents the gnome's hat.
- Gently tap the Bugle to remove excess chocolate and place it on the parchment-lined baking sheet with the pointed end facing upward.
- Before the white chocolate sets, sprinkle red and green holiday sprinkles along the bottom edge of the "hat" to create a festive trim.
- Use mini chocolate chips to create the gnome's nose by carefully pressing one chip onto the white chocolate-coated area.
- Allow the Bugle Gnomes to set at room temperature for approximately 10-15 minutes, or place in the refrigerator for faster setting.
- Once chocolate is completely hardened, arrange Bugle Gnomes on a decorative holiday platter for serving.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- • Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the smoothest coating • Ensure your melted chocolate is at the right consistency - not too thick or thin • Work quickly when decorating to prevent chocolate from hardening • Use a toothpick for precise placement of mini chocolate chip noses • Keep your workspace clean and organized for smooth decorating • If chocolate starts to harden, gently reheat in microwave • For a uniform look, try to dip all Bugles at the same angle • Consider using different colored sprinkles for variety • Make these ahead of time for stress-free holiday entertaining
