Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) container vanilla frosting
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 30 strawberries, stems removed
- 30 regular size marshmallows
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 8 gingerbread people cookies
- 20 mini tree-shaped sugar cookies
- 3 cups green grapes
- rectangular rimmed wood board or tray (about 18” x 12”)
- 1 round rimmed plate (about 8” in diameter)
Instructions
- Evenly spread the frosting onto a round plate with a lip around the edge. Place the plate in the center of the board.
- Press 2 large blackberries for Santa’s eyes, a raspberry for the nose, and 4 raspberries for the smile onto the frosting.
- Arrange the strawberries, starting from the top of the plate up to the top-right corner of the board to look like Santa’s hat. Place a regular marshmallow at the very top of the hat.
- Add a line of 5 regular marshmallows to the top edge of the plate to complete Santa’s hat.
- Arrange the remaining regular marshmallows with mini marshmallows on top for Santa’s beard, mustache, and eyebrows, leaving space at the bottom of the board for the belt.
- Place the remaining blackberries along the bottom of the board with two raspberries in the center to look like Santa’s belt.
- Divide the remaining raspberries and place them on either side of Santa’s marshmallow beard, filling in from the blackberries up to a third of the board.
- Place 4 gingerbread people cookies on either side of Santa’s face, just above the raspberries.
- Divide the mini tree cookies and arrange half on one side of Santa’s hat and half of the other side, just above the Gingerbread people cookies.
- Fill in the top third of the board, around Santa’s hat, with the green grapes.
- Ho! Ho! Enjoy!
