Christmas Santa Cupcakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 unfrosted cupcakes, cooled
1 1/2 cups vanilla frosting
1/2 cup red sprinkles
1 (6 ounce) package white chocolate chips
24 mini chocolate chips
12 red candy-coated chocolate pieces (such as M&M's(R))
1/2 cup coconut flakes

Preparation

Frost each cupcake with a thin layer of vanilla frosting. Pour red sprinkles into a small bowl and dip the lower third of each frosted cupcake into the sugar to make Santa's hat. Create a white rim for the hat by placing about 6 white chocolate chips, flat-side up, at the edge of the red sugar section. Stick 1 white chocolate chip on the top as a pom-pom.
Place 2 mini chocolate chips in Santa's face for the eyes and a red candy-coated chocolate piece for the nose. Sprinkle coconut flakes over the bottom third for the beard.
