Santa’s Button Treats – Sweet, crispy and delicious

Snacks, we all love snacks, especially when they are soft, sweet and easy to eat with your hands. If you love cake puffs or jam-filled biscuits, You’ll love Santa’s Button Treats. They are light, sweet and perfect for your weekend snack-table or for a sweet treat after dinner.

When melting the butter for your treats, use a low heat and don’t let the butter brown or foam as it can change the flavour and texture. Adding the dry ingredients after mixing the wet ingredients helps mixing and will ensure a smooth batter. Roll them up and make your batter balls and then place them in the oven. These delicious treats are perfect for any occasion and Santa’s Button Treats should be part of Christmas dessert.

If you love to have something sweet after dinner, Santa’s Button Treats will make you smile, every single time.
