When I was planning this Christmas week on the blog, I discovered after picking the recipes to make that 3 of the 4 recipes involve making food into some form of a Christmas tree. This was completely unintentional, however, it kind of turned out to be a nice theme. Today’s tree is in the form of a sweet treat, Christmas Tree Krispie Treats.

I thought these would be a fun thing to have the kids make and give their friends for Christmas. That is one of the best memories I have growing up. I made fun gifts for my friends. I even helped my friend at her house to make some fun Christmas gifts.
