Christmas recipes to make with children: Santa Claus made with cheese

These days of vacation with children at home give a lot of themselves and so that they do not get very long, we have to think about many things to have entertaining creatures. That's why I loved discovering on Pinterest this Santa Claus made with cheese, with which we can solve a snack, and at the same time have a fun time.

With the shape of these cheeses wrapped in red wax, half of the work is practically done by what The work of our little artists will be to help us put the doll's mouth and eyes, as well as hitting his beards.

Ingredients for each Santa Claus

  • One Minibabybel cheese, 2 chocolate or caramel balls, 1 skewer, Philadelphia cream cheese

How to make a Santa made with cheese

Taking advantage of the shooter that has the cheese to peel it, we open and we remove half of the red wax cover, leaving the other half in the cheese, to make the cap of our Santa Claus. From the piece we remove, with scissors we cut a semicircle that will serve to make the mouth.

We insert the chocolate balls in the face, pressing to form the eyes of our doll. We do the same operation with the mouth. Each child can make their own Santa Claus by giving different expressions. With a fork, we beat and scratch the cream cheese a little so that it is full of furrows that will simulate the hairs of the beard.

With fork we are putting cream cheese sticks over the cheese until covered with beards. We insert a skewer through the doll, letting the end hover over the hat and cover the tip with a ball of cream cheese making the tassel of the hat.

With a stick we go taking small pieces of cream cheese and with them we go carefully profiling Santa's mustache and we also make the edging or brim of the hat, until it is finished and ready for the snack.
