SANTA'S SLEIGH FAVORS

Steps:

• Sleigh bottom #1: Coat 1 side of a graham cracker cookie completely with white royal icing. Place 2 candy canes on top, keeping the hooks pointing upward, holding them in place for a few seconds to let set. Sprinkle coconut over the whole cracker and candy canes and set aside to let dry.
• Sleigh bottom #2: Coat 1 side of another graham cracker completely with red royal icing and set aside to dry.
• Presents: Pipe ribbons with white royal icing on fruit candies. Set aside to let dry.
• Santa's seat: Take 2 sugar wafer bars (attached) and completely wrap with a fruit roll-up. Take another pair of wafers and do the same. Place seam side down to keep from them unfolding. Set aside.
• To assemble: Pipe a thin line of white royal icing over the length of the candy canes that are attached to sleigh bottom #1. Place sleigh bottom #2 (red graham cracker) on top of candy canes (red side up)and hold for a few seconds to let set. Make a seat out of the fruit rollup covered sugar wafers by making an "L" shape on top of red cracker. Use 1 as the seat and the other as the back of the seat.
• On 1 side of the seat stack a few candy gifts and on the other side, place the chocolate Santa. Spread out 1 fruit rollup and place a few gifts in the middle and make a pouch, tying the ends of the rollup together with a twizzler, like a beggar's purse. Place gift pouch behind Santa's seat.

SANTA GRAHAM CRACKERS

Steps:

• Take icing and divide into 2/3 and 1/3. You will add a couple of drops to the larger portion of icing. You want it to be flesh colored. Then for the smaller bowl of icing you will want to add enough red food coloring to be a nice red color for the hat.
• You will take the graham crackers to be into 2 crackers so they are square (not retangle). You will ice with the light colored leaving a corner for the red.
• Then add the mini marshmallows for the beard, and one for the top of his hat. Add the red hots for the eyes, and use the spice drops for the nose I cut them in half). These are great!
