~ Chocolate Kiss Tree ~


You Will Need:

1 - 6" by 3" Styrofoam cone
1 box round toothpicks
1 - 13-ounce bag of foil-wrapped chocolate kiss candies
(Multi-colored is prettiest!)
Aluminum foil

To Make:

Wrap cone tightly in aluminum foil
Beginning at the bottom of the cone, cover cone with kisses.
Insert one end of a toothpick into candy kiss,
then push the other end into the cone.
Overlap the kisses slightly for best effect.
Continue covering the cone from bottom to top.

Tips:

As you move toward the top of the cone,
snap toothpicks in half before inserting them into the kiss.
Shorter picks are easier to insert as the cone narrows.
Use round toothpicks rather than flat ones.
The pointed end of the round toothpick is easier
to push into the chocolate kiss, and round toothpicks are stronger
and easier to work with than the flat variety.

Get creative with color!
Alternate stripes of silver and gold kiss candies for an elegant tree,
Decorate completed trees with ribbon bows or small ornaments
Chocolate kiss trees are fun to make,
but don't eat them afterward!
Toothpicks may splinter and pose a hazard.
