Edible Tuk Tuk Rolls

 

Ingredients –

For the dough:

• 1 cup crushed ginger snap cookies
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• ¼ cup maple syrup

For decorating:

• Chocolate sprinkles Fruit leather strips (of different colors if desired)

INSTRUCTIONS –

1. Place the ginger snaps in a ziploc bag and crush using a rolling pin until you have 1 cup of small crumbles.
2.  
3. In a large bowl, combine the crushed ginger snap cookies, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and maple syrup. Mix until all ingredients are incorporated and you have a smooth dough. If the dough is still too sticky (depending on the type of peanut butter used) you can sprinkle in additional powdered sugar until the dough has a play-dough consistency.

1. Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough and shape into a roughly 1½” long football shaped ball. Gently press the bottom onto a plate or cutting board to create a flat side so that it sits steady. Repeat with all remaining peanut butter dough.
2.  
3. Slice the fruit leather into small strips about ½” wide.
4.  
5. Place 3 – 4 fruit leather strips on top of each roll in a shingled pattern. Press the sides of the fruit leather down and gently squeeze together, so that the fruit leather wraps over the top of the peanut butter roll and sticks to the sides.
6.  
7. Repeat with all remaining fruit leather and peanut butter rolls.

 

*Note: If your fruit leather is not very pliable and difficult to work with, lay the strips flat on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 2 – 3 seconds until softened.

 

1. Place 2 chocolate sprinkles on one end of each roll, just under the last piece of fruit leather, for Tuk Tuk’s antennae.
2.  
3. Line these Tuk Tuk rolls up on a plate, alternating the colors and patterns!
