Here are 5 edible Christmas tree desserts that are easy to make…

 

#1 – Edible Christmas Tree Cones

• Take a waffle cone and turn it upside down.

• Let the kids decorate their green Christmas trees with “ornaments” — candies like M&M’s, Skittles, sprinkles, and more.
• Finally, place a cupcake or a cookie that’s slightly larger than the diameter of the cone underneath, to give it a stable platform to rest on.
• Waalah… you have a kid-size Christmas tree decorated to satisfy your sweet tooth!

#2 – Giant Christmas Tree Cookie

• Using any sugar cookie mix, prepare as directed on the package.

• Bake until lightly brown, then use a knife to cut into a Christmas tree shape.
• Decorate with green frosting and candies.
