Peanutty Santa Recipes

Steps:

• Dip one third of each peanut butter cookie into the melted white candy for the beard. Place a mini candy-coated chocolate in the middle of the peanut butter cookie for the nose, using the white chocolate to stick. Chill in the refrigerator until set, about 8 minutes.
• Dip the opposite side of the peanut butter cookies one third of the way up in the melted white candy, leaving the middle of the peanut butter cookie untouched. Sprinkle with the red sanding sugar, leaving a small border for the brim of the hat. Sprinkle white nonpareils onto the border. Put a pearl-size white sprinkle on the red sanding sugar.
• Put the remaining melted white candy into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe 2 dots in the middle of the peanut butter cookies and then put a round black sprinkle on each dot for the eyes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, oil, garlic and curry powder until blended. Cut chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tips. Add wings to peanut butter mixture; stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours., Transfer to an ungreased 13 x9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 35-45 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.

Steps:

• Cook the noodles according to the package instructions.
• Meanwhile, combine the peanut butter, chili crisp, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar and ginger in a large bowl and whisk to combine. (The sauce might look curdled, but keep whisking until smooth.)
• Drain the noodles, add them to the bowl with the sauce and toss until the noodles are nicely coated. Garnish with chopped scallions and peanuts. Add additional chili crisp if you prefer more spice.

Steps:

• Dip both ends of each cookie in chocolate, leaving a 1-inch section in center uncoated. Place on waxed paper-covered tray. Sprinkle sugar over one end of each cookie for Santa's hat.
• Use remaining white chocolate to attach to each cookie: 2 chocolate chips for Santa's eyes, 1 white candy for pom pom of hat and red candy for nose.
• Let stand 20 min. or until chocolate is firm.
