It may not be very healthy but it is certainly very festive. It's also a great recipe that the kids can get involved in, the only problem is having enough crosses to actually create the tree, as they gobbled them up too quickly.

Ingredients About 300g milk chocolate, broken into pieces 1 1/2 cups rice bubbles
(The cheap ones work just as well, you can use coco pops although it might be just a little too much chocolate) 3/4 cup shredded coconut Method Melt the chocolate and add rice bubbles and coconut and mix together. Spoon the mixture onto a tray (I line the tray with alfoil although baking paper is just as good) into a cross shape. Make 6 of these crosses, each one a little bigger than the last. Save some chocolate mix for joining them together. Chill in fridge for about half hour, or until they are set. Place the biggest cross on the melamine plate, put a little of the extra chocolate on the bottom of the next biggest and place on top (have the cross parts going in different directions, ie a "x" and a "t" so it looks like the branches of a christmas tree) Do this with the rest of the crosses. Put back in the fridge for another half hour or until set. If you are giving as a gift dust with icing sugar and top with a star or angel shaped biscuit as a tree topper and then wrap in cellophane.
This is easy to make, relatively cheap and makes a great present to your older kids teachers or our neighbours.
If you are giving as a gift pick up a cheap Christmas plate from a variety store to present on, this is a great long lasting gift for the recipient too. - Leimay
