Edible Christmas Trees

By Maggie Mackay, PM Mt. Airy-Damascus-Urbana MD December 21, 2011

A friend shared this idea with me last year and I thought it was SO cute!  My kids and I did it that night and had a lot of fun!!  Plus, we had a sweet treat to share afterwards!!

What you’ll need:

Sugar cones

White icing

Green food coloring

Candy for decoration (We used holiday M&M’s and Jet Puff gingerbread shaped marshmallows)

Paper plates

Plastic knives

Bowl

 

What you’ll do:

Use the green food coloring to make all your icing green (you could also use other colors, if you want to be creative with your trees!)

Flip the sugar cone upside down and put it on a paper plate

Use the plastic knife to spread the green icing all over the sugar cone

Use the candy to decorate your Christmas tree any way you want!
