  • <p>Create a cupcake Christmas tree centerpiece for your dessert table by arranging cupcakes on cone-shaped Styrofoam. Fill any gaps with candy pieces like holiday-colored Rolos.</p><p><strong>Get the recipe at </strong><a href="http://teaspoonsf.com/2011/12/cupcake-christmas-tree/"><strong>Teaspoon</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>
  • <p>For this simple treat, all you have to do is drizzle melted green-colored white chocolate over pretzel rods and sprinkle with mini ornaments (a.k.a. mini M&M’s!). And don't worry about runny chocolate, the tree shape will set after the chocolate cools and hardens back to its original solid consistency. </p><p><strong>Get the recipe at </strong><a href="http://www.iheartnaptime.net/pretzel-christmas-trees/"><strong>I Heart Nap Time</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>
  • <p>Spice up your appetizers with this cheesy twist on crescent rolls.
