Elf breakfast spaghetti no-bake Christmas cookies
Christmas is just around the corner, so it is officially time to cosy up on the sofa in front of your favourite Christmas movie! I love Elf, it is full of Christmas cheer (sing it loud for all to hear!) and puts me straight into the festive mood.
These Elf Breakfast Spaghetti Cookies are the perfect bake to celebrate with, to fill Christmas cookie boxes, to give to friends and family. The is no real spaghetti in these cookies: instead I’m using pretzel pieces for that delicious sweet and salty favour combination. They are topped with all the iconic toppings from the movie: M&M’s, chocolate sauce, sprinkles, marshmallows, maple syrup! We don’t have candy corn in the UK but if you live somewhere where it is easy to find, go ahead and add that in too.
