Equipment

Sharp Knife
Cutting Board
12 Toothpicks

Ingredients

12 mini donuts
12 strawberries
24 mini marshmallows

Instructions

Prepare the strawberries. Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Remove the green leaves and stems, then slice a tiny amount off each pointed tip to create a flat spot.
Assemble the hats. Place one strawberry, stem-end down, in the center of each mini powdered donut.
Secure with toothpicks. Insert a toothpick straight down through each strawberry and into the donut to hold everything together.
Add the marshmallows. Slide two mini marshmallows onto the exposed top of each toothpick to create Santa's fluffy pom-pom and cover the sharp end.
Serve. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately for the best appearance and texture.

Notes

- Strawberries: Choose small to medium strawberries that sit comfortably on the mini donuts.
- Dry thoroughly: Excess moisture from the strawberries can dissolve the powdered sugar coating.
- Make ahead: These are best assembled shortly before serving. You can prepare the strawberries ahead of time and refrigerate them until needed.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container and enjoy the same day.
- Variations: Try mini chocolate donuts or replace the marshmallows with a little vanilla frosting.
- Safety: Each Santa Hat contains a toothpick that must be removed before eating. Adult supervision is important when children help assemble or eat these treats.
