Strawberry Santa Hats

It's day four of the Eats Amazing Advent Calendar, and today I’m all about a simple fun food idea for stressed and time-poor parents this Christmas!

These Strawberry Santa Hats have just 3 ingredients and really are too simple to be called a recipe, they just need assembling and literally take just a minute or two to put together - the perfect snack or party food for the crazy busy run-up to Christmas!

As I mentioned above, this post is part of the Eats Amazing Fun Food Advent Calendar.  Every day from now until Christmas I’m sharing a new festive food idea and I’m announcing them over on the new Advent Calendar page too, so do click on the link, bookmark it and pop back each day to see what’s new!

Yesterday I shared a super easy homemade gift recipe, today it’s these super simple Santa hats and tomorrow… you’ll have to come back and see in the morning to see what I have in store for you!

Strawberry Santa Hats

Ingredients:

• strawberries
• white mini marshmallows
• icing sugar for dusting (optional)

Method: 

Wash and gently pat dry the strawberries.

Slice the top off each strawberry to form the flat bottom of the 'hat'.

Cut a tiny piece off of the point of each strawberry, to give the marshmallow something to stick to.

Arrange the strawberries cut-side-down on the plate or platter you plan to serve them on  (I used a wooden chopping board) .

Balance a mini marshmallow on each strawberry. The little bit of moisture from the cut tip of the strawberry should hold it in place nicely.

Dust the 'hats' liberally with icing sugar to create a snow effect. This will also sweeten the strawberries a little, as they are often a little sharp being out of season at this time of year.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
