Edible Christmas Trees
Thank you to Annie, Sally , Michelle and the amazingly wonderful team at Highland Park Library for hosting another Edible Christmas Tree event.
Making your edible Christmas tree creates great memories and is delicious!
1-Make a cone shaped mould lined with baking paper.
In a large bowl ( microwave proof -if using glass be sure to use a teatowel to remove the bowl from the microwave)
2-Melt about 140g of chocolate for about 90 seconds depending on your microwave. Or use the steam bath method on the stovetop . ( we use Homebrand chocolate $2.50 from Countdown in the baking isle)
3- Once the chocolate is melted add rice bubbles, broken buscuits and a few jelly lollies, anything you would enjoy in your Christmas tree.Mix well
4- Using a tablespoon fill your mould with the mixture and use the back of the spoon to flatten the base as this will ensure your tree stands upright.
5- Place in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes.
6- Once the Christmas tree is set you can melt more chocolate ( if using white chocolate in the microwave be careful to check on it every 30 seconds )
7- Pour the white chocolate over the Christmas tree and sprinkle 100s and 1000s over the top. Use edible baking decorations. Have fun- and enjoy
Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?
It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.
