Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 25 trees

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons half-and-half cream
3 cups coconut
green food coloring (optional)
3 ounces chocolate, for dipping
decorative candies (silver balls)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients well, except chocolate, using as much food coloring as desired.
  • While 'dough' is still warm and pliable, take about a tablespoon amount (decide how large you would like your trees) and with fingertips, shape into an upsidedown cone/a standing fir-tree.
  • Do not try rolling. Squeeze your amount firmly so it adheres toegther, then stand one end on work surface and shape into a fir-tree, pressing fairly firmly.
  • Do not make tip too sharp in order to accomodate the decorative ball later.
  • When all the 'dough' is shaped, melt chocolate and dip tops of trees.
  • While chocolate is still soft, place silver ball on the tip.
  • A thought: would white chocolate look like snow?
