Red & White Candy Christmas Mittens

Candy Christmas Mittens

By now all bets are on that your Christmas tree is up in its full glory and your stockings are hung with care. I suspect that some of you are probably in full swing with your Christmas baking and others are struggling to find the time in their already busy and hectic days to shop, let alone bake. If you fall in the latter category, we have a fun Christmas candy recipe that is also quick and easy. Your kids will love helping make these and giving them as gifts. Maybe even Santa will score one!

Ingredients

Wilton red candy melts

12 oz. package of Wilton red candy melts
12 oz. package of Wilton white candy melts
green & red holiday sprinkles
2 small sandwich baggies
2 foil or parchment lined baking sheets (the chocolate will pop right off)

 

Directions

1. Pour the white candy melts into a microwave safe dish. Heat the melts in the microwave in 30 second increments. Stir every time the microwave stops. Do this until the candy is fully melted.

Allow the chocolate to cool a few minutes before using.

2. After allowing the white chocolate to cool a few minutes, scoop it into the small sandwich baggie. Squeeze the extra air out and make a small snip in the corner using the scissors.

3. To make the mittens, *make an outline of a mitten shape (see photo). My mittens were about 3” tall but not exact. I didn’t want to go any bigger as the chocolate is very delicate and breaks easily if made too big.

Next, go back and forth with the white chocolate filling the mitten in. Sprinkle with a few of the green & red holiday sprinkles.

Repeat, step until you’ve used all your white chocolate.

*you might want to practice a few times but I found it wasn’t that hard and they don’t have to be perfect.

4. Once all your mittens are made and sprinkled. Allow the chocolate to fully harden (about an hour on the counter and only 15-20 minutes in the fridge).

5. Once your mittens have set, repeat step #1 with 6 oz. of the red candy melts.

6. Use the red melted chocolate to make the mitten cuff (see photo) and then fill in with the red.

**I recommend storing the chocolate mittens in the fridge until ready to serve or giving as a gift. If you let set out too long the chocolate doesn’t melt but does get soft and makes it easier to have the mittens break a part.

Happy Holidays!

    I used to have a mitten cookie cutter that I could make these cookies with. I wonder if my Daughter has it now.

      I think I could use the cookies cutter to outline the melted candy with….. Do you think it will work?

      Yes, I do think it would work well to help you outline it. Great idea!

    These are cute! I wish I had the time to make some. I haven’t baked a thing or made anything sweet for the holidays. Although, today I am doing the popcorn balls for the tree.

    My daughter’s having a friend sleep over, this would be the perfect thing for them to do.
