School break time is here and these chocolate dipped treats are the funnest activity for busy little hands! These chocolate dipped snowmen, reindeer and santas are also perfect for parties, neighbor gifts, and treats! You and your kiddos will have so much fun dipping cookies in chocolate and decorating with candy. And the best part? These treats require NO BAKING, just decorating! Win win!
I tried to include as much information as possible to help save you from this:
Because a few of these ingredients can be tricky. Always be sure to keep your melting chocolate fairly warm while working to prevent stickyness or clumping and move fast when dipping in the red sugar!

3. Santa Cookies
