Edible Christmas Tree's
The kids will love making, decorating and eating these edible Christmas tree's made with puffed rice cereal!
These Edible Christmas Tree's are one of the recipes we like to make over the festive period. The kids love getting creative with the decorations, so we raid our local supermarket cake decorating aisle before we start.
Sprinkles, mini smarties, dragees and edible glitter are all used with copious amounts of icing! It's a fun, festive rainy day activity for kids of all ages. Enjoy!
Top tips for making edible Christmas tree's
- We used a natural green food colouring for these crispy lollies but if you wanted a stronger green colour I'd advise using a gel colouring which will give a more vibrant, brighter green.
- The edible Christmas tree's will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container and would be fine to freeze too.
- Perhaps leave one of these out for Santa on Christmas Eve instead of the traditional mince pie?

The kids will love making, decorating and eating these crispy Christmas Tree lollies made with puffed rice cereal!
Ingredients:
- 9 tea cups of Puffed Rice Cereal
- 9 tea cups of Marshmallows
- 95g Butter
- Green Food Colouring, Cake Sprinkles, Icing Tubes
- 16 Lolly Sticks
Instructions:
- Line 2 x 20cm round tins with baking paper.
- Put the marshmallows and butter in a large microwaveable bowl and melt (I do 10-15 second bursts and stir).
- Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the puffed rice cereal and green food colouring (add a few drops at a time until you get required colour).
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared tins and press down firmly. Place in the fridge to chill for 2 hours.
- Take the baking tins out of the fridge. Cut into triangles (as you would cut slices of cake).
- Push 1 lolly stick in the bottom of each tree triangle and decorate with icing and sprinkles of your choice.
