Enchanted Forest Table Top Decorations
Bring the magic of the Christmas season to your table with this eye-catching decoration you can make with your children.
Prep time: 30 min.
Decoration time: 15 min.
Difficulty: Easy
What you'll need:
- 1 bag M&M'S® Brand MINIS® Milk Chocolate Candies
- 1 bag DOVE® Brand Milk or Dark Chocolate
- 10 extra large sugar ice cream cones
- 1/4 cup meringue powder
- 4 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 large piece cotton batting (cut approximately 12-inch wide by 24-inch long)
- Silver glitter
- 1 string miniature Christmas tree lights, optional
What to do:
- Make the ornament forsting by mixing the meringue powder in a large bowl with the cold water. Beat until peaks form. Add the sifted powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
- Turn each sugar cone upside down. Frost each sugar cone to make a Christmas tree.
- While the frosting is still soft, use more frosting as "glue" and decorate each tree with M&M'S® Brand MINIS® Milk Chocolate Candies. Set aside to harden completely.
- Spread the cotton batting down the center of your table. Place a string of miniature Christmas lights under the cotton batting, and poke the bulbs through the cotton. Sprinkle with silver glitter.
- Place the Christmas trees on the cotton batting. Place four DOVE® Brand Milk or Dark Chocolates around each tree. Plug in the string of miniature lights, and watch your enchanted forest come to life!
