Notes

Chocolate Tip

White chocolate melts best when heated gently. Microwave in short intervals and stir often to prevent scorching.

Assembly Tip

Work quickly once the Bugles are dipped so the M&M’s stick before the chocolate sets.

Variations

Use mini M&M’s for a smaller look, or swap in red and green candies for extra holiday flair.

Storage

Store Elf Hat Treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Keep them cool to prevent melting.
