Candy Trees
When you’ve made all the ornaments you want, consider making an entire tree of candy. You’ll need a Styrofoam or cork cone from a crafts store and a box of toothpicks and pins. Some candies can remain in their wrappers; stick them to the tree with pins, not the toothpicks. For other candies like gumdrops, puncture them with toothpicks and stick the opposite end into the tree. Just remind your children of basic safety and enjoy.
