  Heavenly Angel

what you need

1 OREO White Fudge Covered Cookies
2   individually wrapped ring-shaped hard candies, candy cane flavor, unwrapped
1 yellow ring-shaped hard candy
2 Tbsp.  Royal Icing

Royal Icing

what you need

1/2 cup refrigerated pasteurized egg whites
1/2 tsp.  cream of tartar
1 pkg. (16 oz.) powdered sugar (about 4 cups)

Make It


BEAT egg whites and cream of tartar in large bowl with electric mixer on high speed until blended.
ADD powdered sugar gradually, beating on low speed until well blended after each addition. Beat on high speed 5 min. or until stiff peaks form.

Note

Prepared icing must be kept covered at all times to prevent hardening.
Make it Easy
Icing can be prepared ahead of time. Prepare as directed, then place in medium bowl; place plastic wrap directly on surface of icing. Refrigerate several hours or overnight. Beat with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form just before using.

Make It


CUT cookie with sharp knife into 3 pieces as shown in photo to form the body and wings. (The wings should be about 3/8-inch wide at the widest part and the body section should be about 1/2-inch wide at the narrowest part.)
SPREAD small amount of the Royal Icing onto one of the candy canes; top with remaining candy cane, with top curves facing in opposite directions, to form the head of the angel. Attach the yellow candy to the head for the halo.
ARRANGE cookie pieces on sheet of wax paper to resemble an angel (cookie pieces will not touch at this point). Attach wings to the body with icing, using a small star tip; fill in the space between the body and wings with more icing. Attach the head to the body with remaining icing. Let stand until icing is completely dry.

Kitchens Tips

Healthy Living
Save 70 calories and 9 grams of fat per serving by preparing with PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, reduced-fat condensed cream of mushroom soup and Light Zesty Italian Dressing.
Note
Chicken thighs are preferred over chicken breasts in slow-cooker recipes since they are more flavorful and less likely to overcook.
Non-Alcoholic Variation
Substitute water or chicken broth for the wine.
