Candy Christmas Trees Project

Posted by funfelt on Friday Dec 22, 2006 Under

My kids and I just made these to give to our family and friends along with our sugar cookies and fudge and they are SO delicious.

Thanks to a tip from fellow mompacker, Gwen from Suzanne’s Place we made peanut butter stuffed Bugles and dipped them in melted white chocolate from another mompacker’s site, AnOccasionalChocolate.com. These were easy to make and taste so great! The kids had a lot of fun stuffing the peanut butter into the bugles. (If you don’t know what Bugles are, they are a cone shaped corn chip/snack!) Gwen suggested using a pastry bag with a small tip to insert into the bugles but we didn’t have one so we just shoved it in there with knives. LOL! Then we had melted the white chocolate in the microwave (the stuff Cheryl sells is SO easy to work with!) and kind of rolled the stuffed bugle in it and then sprinkled some with colored nonpareils and stood them up on waxed paper.

The kids had a lot of fun making these - and eating them! They taste just like the white chocolate reese’s but a little crunchier! Enjoy!

Handprint Towels

Handprint Towel
We made these cute handprint towels as Christmas gifts for the grandparents. Just get some fabric paint (I used DecoArt “So Foft” fabric paint) and paint it on the child’s hand then press down on a tea towel. We got our towels at the dollar store but you can do it on flour sack type towels too which I got at Walmart. These towels are great for drying glass! Then take a fabric marker and write the child’s name and the year. We had each child make their own, and are giving the grandmas a bundle of all 3. The bigger kids just put one hand in the corner and my little one did both hands.

We included this poem as well:

I know you sometimes wipe them away,
But these handprints are here to stay!
So keep them forever… A treasure they’ll be,
A special “I love you!” for you, from me!
Have fun!
