I made these last year and thought they were adorable and easy, but forgot about them until my five year old grandson reminded me that we HAD to make the pilgrim hats again, so we are. I guess it has become a cherished tradition.

I made these for a bake sale at church. Instead of the peanut cups I used the rollo candy for the top. and also used the small baking m&ms for the belt. Went over very good

These were very easy to make and turned out super cute. Two keys - 1. freeze the peanut butter cups and cookies before you start working with them. 2. use a piping bag for the yellow iceing - it made so much easier! I also put these on top of an iced cup cake and propped up the hat with two m&m that looked like eyes. My sons class just loved them!

Just made these for my coworkers and will be making them next week for my kids to take to school. EASY and ADORABLE. Thanks for sharing this. I FINALLY found the tiny chicklets at a Micheals Craft Store as another person mentioned.

Made these last Thanksgiving. Tinted small amount of icing orange and used a small tip to pipe in. The kids LOVED them.

A very cute idea but it's heart healthy only if you don't eat any.

I made these cookies for my sons elementary class. It was a hit! All of the kids loved them! I used the Mini- M & M's in replace of the gum. Cute idea!!!

This is such a cute idea! I ended up finding the mini chicklet gum at Michael's craft store of all places!! :)
