Strawberries & Cream Santa Hats

I love festive treats!  No matter what the holiday, I'll create a themed dessert to compliment the occasion.  Since I hate to repeat bake for parties, I'm always looking to do something difference.  To honor Santa and compliment my Peanut Butter Fudge, I decided to create these adorable Strawberry Santa Hats!  I wanted to compliment the rich fudge with something light and healthy so everybody could enjoy the treats without too much guilt!
