I made these teddy sleds last year for Christmas and all the little kids loved them.
But, I didn’t use them as cupcake toppers. I just packaged them individually.
This year, I thought I would use them as cupcake toppers and I think they turned out pretty darn sweet.
They are just so much fun to make and super duper easy too!
To make these toppers, you will need the following supplies:
Mini Twix bars
Mini candy canes
Paintbrush
Melted chocolate
Mini teddy graham crackers
These are the instructions:
Step 1:
Melt chocolate in the microwave.
Use a paintbrush to paint the sides of the Twix bar with melted chocolate.
Step 2:
Stick the candy canes on the sides
You will have to hold the candy canes in place for a minute or so, until they attach securely.
Step 3:
Brush some melted chocolate on top of the Twix bar.
Step 4:
And stick the teddy graham cracker here.
Once again, you will have to hold the teddy in place for a minute or so, until it attaches securely.
Finally, ice your cupcakes, toss some sprinkles and place these cute teddy sleds on top.
And you are done!
Well, I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
What a clever and simple idea! So effective. I love baking at Christmas time – an excuse to use large amounts of candy at chocolate at Christmas time. I will definitely add these to my list of what to make next (thanks for sharing the idea). Last week, I made sleighs out of wrapped candy using candy canes (http://www.bonjoursucre.com/chocolate-sleighs/).
