Here’s a fun, kid-friendly Christmas craft to do this season. Not only can the kids have fun making this craft, but they can eat it, too!

Edible Red Chocolate Candy Ornaments

Serving Size: 10-12

Ingredients needed:

• 12 oz. package of Wilton red candy melts
• holiday sprinkles
• twine or ribbon
• foil or parchment-lined baking sheet
• small sandwich baggie
• kitchen scissors

Directions to make your edible ornaments:

1. Pour about half of the red candy melts (6 oz) into a microwave-safe dish. Heat the melts in the microwave in 30-second increments. Stir every time the microwave stops. Do this until the candy is fully melted. 

Allow the chocolate to cool for a few minutes before using.

2. After allowing the chocolate to cool for a few minutes, scoop it into the small sandwich baggie. Squeeze the extra air out and make a small snip in the corner using the scissors.

3. To make the chocolate ornaments, squeeze the sandwich bag gently and make a circle of red chocolate. Once your circle is mad, you can go back and forth with the baggie, filling it in.

Make a small loop at the top of the chocolate ornament for the ribbon or twine if you wish.

4. Repeat, using the rest of the chocolate.

I made my ornaments about 2-3” big. I honestly wouldn’t go too much bigger because they are fragile if left out. Store it in the fridge until you serve it or give it as a gift.

^ oz melted chocolate makes approximately 10-12 2-3” ornaments.
