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.
  • Help the kids “paint” their cones with green icing.
  • 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!

Here’s a step-by-step tutorial from My Life According To Pinterest for edible Christmas tree cones.

#2 – Giant Christmas Tree Cookie

  • Using any sugar cookie mix, prepare as directed on the package.
  • Instead of dropping bite-sized mounds onto a cookie sheet, press all of the batter firmly into a cooking pan with edges.
  • Bake until lightly brown, then use a knife to cut into a Christmas tree shape.
  • Decorate with green frosting and candies.

Here’s a step-by-step tutorial from Betty Crocker for a giant Christmas tree cookie.

#3 – Pretzel Christmas Trees

  • Put some green candy melts into a sandwich bag and once they’ve turned to liquid, snip one corner of the bag.

  • Sprinkle miniature-sized candies onto the candy melt before it hardens.
  • Allow to cool… then enjoy!

  • Finally, drop lots of lightweight sprinkles into the icing before it hardens.

If there is ONE thing I like… it's C H A N G E! The four seasons and major holidays are my favorite times of the year to recharge — and redecorate. I mostly like to share frugal DIY ideas for seasonal home decorating and party planning (for both, indoors and outside). Because who doesn't enjoy entertaining at home?! But even if you don't host many parties, I think you'll appreciate my DIY hacks and clever ways to decorate your house for the major holidays including Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. Because those are the times when people tend to have the most visitors and overnight houseguests.
