Candy Christmas Trees
It's that time of year when Candy Christmas Trees are trending! A fun, festive holiday craft for kids or the perfect candy box filler.
Servings: 10 trees
Equipment
- 10 Mini Red Bows
- Hot Glue Gun
- Extra Glue Sticks (if necessary)
Ingredients
- 20 green Individually Wrapped Mini Reese’s Cups
- 10 individually Wrapped Rolos gold foil
- 10 green Kisses
Instructions
- Preheat your glue gun.
- Start by putting glue on top of a Rolo, with the small, flat end pointing up.
- Immediately sit a mini Reese’s on the glue, with the smaller, flat end pointing up. Hold it down until the glue is set (a couple of seconds is fine).
- Put glue on top of the Reese’s that you just glued to the Rolo, and put another mini Reese’s on top of it, facing the same way. Press and hold for a few seconds to set the glue.
- Put glue on top of the Reese’s you just glued and place a Kiss right on top of it. Hold it down for a few seconds.
- Put a small dab of glue on the back, middle of the bows, and place them on the crease where the last Reese’s and Kiss meet. Press and hold into place for a few seconds.
Notes
Storage :
- To Store: Store in a cool, dry area for up to 1 month.
- To Freeze: Do not freeze after the glue has been applied.
- You can have fun mixing and matching the colors since all three candies used can come in red, green, and gold.
- These trees hold together pretty well when being moved, but they’re designed to still be eaten easily. If they are handled a bit too much or too roughly, the wrappers will start to pull off and the glue won’t hold.
- If the bows don’t want to lie flat, simply put a tiny dab of glue on the problem area and glue it down.
