Ingredients
- Graham crackers
- White royal icing
- Red royal icing
- Chewy fruit candy squares (recommended: Starbursts)
- Sugar wafers
- Red fruit sheets (recommended: Fruit Roll-ups)
- Miniature bear-shaped cookies (recommended: Teddy Grahams)
- Twisted red candy sticks (recommended: Twizzlers)
- Candy canes
- Shredded coconut
- Chocolate Santa, foil wrapped
Directions
Sleigh bottom #1: Coat 1 side of a graham cracker cookie completely with white royal icing. Place 2 candy canes on top, keeping the hooks pointing upward, holding them in place for a few seconds to let set. Sprinkle coconut over the whole cracker and candy canes and set aside to let dry.
Sleigh bottom #2: Coat 1 side of another graham cracker completely with red royal icing and set aside to dry.
Presents: Pipe ribbons with white royal icing on fruit candies. Set aside to let dry.
Santa's seat: Take 2 sugar wafer bars (attached) and completely wrap with a fruit roll-up. Take another pair of wafers and do the same. Place seam side down to keep from them unfolding. Set aside.
To assemble: Pipe a thin line of white royal icing over the length of the candy canes that are attached to sleigh bottom #1. Place sleigh bottom #2 (red graham cracker) on top of candy canes (red side up)and hold for a few seconds to let set. Make a seat out of the fruit rollup covered sugar wafers by making an "L" shape on top of red cracker. Use 1 as the seat and the other as the back of the seat.
On 1 side of the seat stack a few candy gifts and on the other side, place the chocolate Santa. Spread out 1 fruit rollup and place a few gifts in the middle and make a pouch, tying the ends of the rollup together with a twizzler, like a beggar's purse. Place gift pouch behind Santa's seat.

My family LOVED THESE! They were not as hard as I thought. I got creative and cut some of the starbursts to make different size packages as well as got mini teddy grahams. I also left some room on the back of the sled for a little party favor like mini bottle of tequila for the adults (I wrote sled fuel on them everyone loved them. They all wanted to save them for next year. I used a royal icing recipe from FN that called from egg yolks and it worked great- just like cement. I will definitely make these again.

When I saw this on tv, it looked fairly easy to put together. However, for me and my daughter, not so easy. We had planned on making 10 for family members for Christmas, because it looked so easy. We are definitely not chefs, by no stretch of the imagination. Our royal icing did not come out the way we hoped, so nothing would stick together. (I'm sure that would have made a difference. Maybe next time we'll get it together!

I had fun making this, but I used what I had on hand substituting a few things. It turned out beautifully, and I plan to do it with my grand kids. Thanks!
