Every year my kids and I like to create a Holiday food craft, and this year we made a Cookie Christmas tree and decorated it with candy.
The tree is made out of nested star cookies in graduated sizes which are then stacked up to make a tree shape. I frosted the cookies with white icing to give them a snow covered look, and then used royal icing to secure the Sixlets and Shimmer Stars to the tree.
Decorating the tree was a little frustrating, because the candy was so small. We worked from the bottom up, and it was easy for us to knock a lower row off as we added the candy. But we persevered, and the final result was worth the effort! I love the clean look of the blue, white and silver candy, and this makes a great centerpiece for our dining room table.
I’d actually give it to my baker friend who makes incredible stuff!
I would probably share it with my family and just eat it all!
I would use some of the candy for baking and some to snack on.
I would make something and eat some too.
I would make it with the Christmas Mix Sixlets® and I would be eating them as I go.
It would probably get eaten before I could bake with it.
I’d share it with my family and use it to decorate cupcakes.
Thank you!
I would fill my husbands stocking with it. He gets to bake with it and I get to eat it win-win!
I would make something, oh yes… not sure if it would be a cookie tree or something far less original. I would definitely eat some of this candy as well!
My 10 year old son and I would try to make something =)
I would probably just eat it all. It just looks too good.
How pretty! That looks like a great edible craft to do with the kids!
I would make something fun – why not!?
Your cookie tree looks almost better than my real tree, lol!! Nice work, and nice giveaway too. 🙂
I would use the candy for baked goods.
I would put it all around my house so i can enjoy it every where i go

That is so pretty! I would hate to ruin it by eating it – lol
I would definitely make something with these sweet candies. I loved the fall colors with their sheen but the silver, blue and white look like snow and so elegant that they would look fabulous on a cake. Might have to make an adorable cookie Christmas tree to decorate
I would use it to decorate cookies unless the kids find it first.
Thank you for the chance to win. I’d use it to fill the grandkids stockings and some cookie baking.

I know that a lot would be eaten by my family but I love baking so I would try to make some goodies for the holidays. I’m sure my coworkers would like some too.
I think I would decorate the table with some, bake with some and give the rest to my children and grandchildren.
I’d make some gingerbread to decorate.
just eat it all
I’d bake and I’d also share, they’d make great stocking stuffers!
I would give some of the candy to the kids and use the rest for some holiday recipes! I make a rice krispy wreath every year and I think I would use the Christmas colored Sixlets to make “ornaments” for the wreath! The possibilities are really endless!
I would put it out for when friends and family visit.
I would love to use it to make something for the holidays like you did in you post! It looks fabulous and I’m not a very good baker, so it would be fun to make a no bake and still be able to eat some of it for my kiddo’s!
I would love to make a decoration and leave it for guests!
I would decorate cupcakes with them, and perhaps eat some 🙂
I would use it for baking and also as small gifts.
I would put it in the Christmas stockings.
I would put various candy in little containers with ribbons on top and bring it to family gatherings over the holidays!
I’d set up a candy buffet with it and let the people who come in my house eat from it. Thanks.

My husband and I always like to make a gingerbread house and sugar cookies, this would be perfect for that!
That cake is beautiful! I would love to make one like that!Nice job!
I would probably have good intentions of making something with it and end up eating it before I got to it.
*sigh* I get so tired of the browser wars and constant “improvements” I am having so much trouble with the blogs in IE.. the rafflecopter forms not showing up.. but they show up in firefox… I know it’s their “wars” and such.. oh well… I would keep this for ME! I bake for the holidays, I host for the holidays and OH my the kids LOVE when G-Ma has candy. It is special because normally we never give them any!
I would share it with family and friends and just eat it.
