Saint Nicholas Cookies

This year I decided to come up with an alternative to the usual Saint Nicholas Chocolates that I usually make each year.  I prefer to purchase the delicious Lindt Santas, and this year (with them priced at $3.49 each on sale totaling $31.41 for our family of 9) I decided to save the money spend it all on a few new books to add to our collection!  
I ran across an idea to make Santa Cookies with Nutter Butters on Food.com and immediately envisioned how I could adapt them for St. Nicholas.  I even had everything I needed other than a package of cookies... They were fun and easy to make, and I plan to put them each in a clear bag with a small candy cane Bishop's Staff and a few St. Nicholas Chocolate Coins.  I think my kids are going to love them!   

Supplies:Nutter Butter CookiesWhite Candy Melts or White Chocolate Chips, meltedRed SprinklesMini Chocolate ChipsMini M&M's 
Optional:White Decorating FrostingWhite Bead SprinklesCoconut

Dip each end of the cookie into the melted chocolate.  

Sprinkle the top end with Red Sprinkles for the miter.

Dip one side of a mini M&M and the flat side of two mini chocolate chips into the melted chocolate and place on cookie for the eyes and the nose.  

There are a couple options for this next step... I used some white icing to pipe a cross on to the miter.   You can also put some of the melted chocolate into a baggie, snip off the corner, and use that as well.  

I then decided to use some white bead sprinkles to embellish the cross on St. Nicholas's miter.  

I also added some coconut to some of the beards, though not all since a couple of my kids don't like coconut.  I also mixed in some red noses - it's COLD in December, at least in our corner of the country.  

Which way do you like best?
