Edible Wreaths Recipe

Posted on December 04, 2012

The Holidays start earlier every year. I started seeing decorations in stores as early as the beginning of October. Even before Thanksgiving it seems like the fall decorations are down and stores are decked out with Christmas music filling the air. I know in our family, as soon as the first snow of the year hit, the girls started talking about their Christmas lists. We decided that since it felt like Christmas outside we would get in the Holiday spirit with a fun lunch. We made edible wreaths. They are easy to make together or pack for a fun school lunch.

*If you are doing this with your child, make sure to use a child-friendly knife or prepare the ingredients before hand.

Happy Holidays!
