Christmas Recipe: Coconut Christmas Wreaths

You won't believe how easy it is to make these pretty eatable miniature Christmas wreaths. Two ingredients, stir and mix. That's all you need to do!

You can turn them into beautiful Christmas decorations, gifts, and gift tags.

Coconut Christmas Wreaths Recipe

Ingredients

180 g white eating chocolate, melted
1 1/4 cups (95 g) shredded coconut
Cachous

Method
  1. Line two trays with baking paper.
  2. Combine chocolate and coconut in medium bowl. Drop heaped tablespoons of mixture onto trays; shape mixture into wreaths using the end of a wooden spoon to make holes in the centre of each wreath.
  3. Decorate wreaths with cachous. Refrigerate until set. Tie with ribbon, if you like.

Wow Ellie these are so beautiful! And they're so easy even I couldnt make a mess out of them ;) Where did you get the pretty ribbon from?

How clever! I wonder how this will fare out of refrigeration though, considering yesterday's heat!

Oh how cute these are, Ellie! How do you make them last till Christmas? Don't they just magically "disappear" - well they would at my place...

Hi Ellie these are sooo gorgeous. I saw them last night and thought I left a comment but maybe i was so tired I was hallucinating already. Anyway I love white chocolate and coconut as a flavour combination and I love that it is so easy!

It's times like these I rue the fact that I live in the tropics! These are so cute and yummy looking. Unfortunately I won't be able to hang em. If they don't melt first, I'll have ants marching up my tree and flies buzzing around...Gosh darn it, I'm still making them though even if they do stay in the fridge.

Forager said...

Oh they're so very pretty! The colours are gorgeous and will be a sure hit with kids and big kids alike!

Sweet! In every sense of the word! :D

Do you also know how to make coconut candy? Those colorful cubes that we used to sell in school during canteen days. I think it contains condensed milk.

Iron Chef Shellie said...

I just LOVE this idea. Was looking at all my xmas cookbooks last night for ideas, but this is so cute!
