Equipment
- Parchment paper
- Chef's Knife
- Piping Bag
- Small Leaf Piping Tip
- Small Offset Spatula
- Fork
Ingredients
- 8 Little Debbie Swiss Rolls
- 1/2 cup chocolate frosting canned
- 2 tbsp green frosting canned
- 18 red pearl sprinkles or sixlets
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar optional
Instructions
- Remove 6 Swiss rolls from the package and place them a few inches apart on parchment paper. Next, cut the other 2 rolls at an angle, cutting 3 pieces from each one. Set these smaller pieces aside.
- Then, use a chef's knife to slice a thin piece off each end of the 6 larger rolls.
- Using an offset spatula, gently spread chocolate frosting over the outside of the Swiss rolls. Take one of the smaller pieces from earlier and add a dollop of frosting to one end. Secure it to the side of a large roll. Use extra frosting to create a seamless transition between the two pieces. Pieces of the Swiss roll may break away; just discard the piece and re-frost.
- Once all 6 logs are frosted, lightly run the tines of a fork over the frosting to create the look of bark.
- Then, add green frosting to a piping bag fitted with a small leaf tip and pipe two leaves on each log.
- Add three red pearl sprinkles to each pair of holly leaves.
- Finally, dust with powdered sugar for a snowy finish, if desired.
Notes
- If you don’t have a piping bag, use a resealable bag. Place frosting in the bottom corner of the bag, cut a V in the corner, and decorate.
- I use store-bought frosting for ease but feel free to use homemade.
- Use red Skittles instead of sprinkles, placing the S down in the frosting.
