    Triple Coconut Candy Christmas Trees

    Transform a creamy Triple Coconut Candy into a forest of pretty white Candy Christmas Trees  all decorated with gold dragees and topped with a gold candy star.

    This Christmas package up a forest full of snowy Triple Coconut Candy Christmas Trees for friends and family.

    Having a white Christmas is a dream many people have each year.

    Do you?

    I have to admit that waking up on Christmas morning and seeing a winter wonderland outside my door is really nice. It does put me in the spirit of the holiday.

    This year has been unseasonably warm, no flurries have flown, so  I decided to make my own forest of snow covered candy Christmas Trees.

    This Christmas package up a forest full of snowy Triple Coconut Candy Christmas Trees for friends and family.

    To make the trees, I used my favorite coconut candy recipe which is easy to scoop and shape and is bursting with coconut flavor. Many coconut candy recipes call for sweetened condensed milk, but mine uses Cream of Coconut, which adds the needed sweetness , but more importantly, adds another layer of coconut flavor.

    In the past I've used this coconut candy recipe to create Red, White, and Blue Coconut Stars, Pink Ombre Coconut Hearts, and Coconut Candy Ice Cream Cones. It tastes so good all on it's own that it doesn't need to be dipped in chocolate, although that is pretty amazing too.

    Use Cream of Coconut to add a burst of coconut flavor to a batch of Triple Coconut Candy Christmas Trees to add to cookie trays and gifts this holiday season.

    For Christmas, I shaped the coconut candy into cones, rolled them in sweetened coconut, and decorated them with gold dragee ornaments and topped each tree with a gold star.

    These candy Christmas trees are so easy to make that you can take time to add whatever candy ornaments you like best. You could use small candy coated chocolates, brightly colored round confetti sprinkles. or multi-colored candy pearls.

    You could also color the coconut green by pouring it into a zip top bag, adding a few drops of green food coloring, shaking to coat, then pouring it out and allowing it to dry before rolling your coconut candy trees in it. You can even get a bit crazy and make pink trees too.

    Mix coconut with coconut cream and white chocolate to make these sweet Triple Coconut Christmas Trees.

      This weather is perfect for me as I love to wear my flip-flops year round! BUt i do agree with you, it would be wonderful to wake up Christmas morning to snow. I can only recall that happening once way down here in Georgia!

      You have created a beautiful winter wonderland with your coconut candy trees! I love the gold accents.

        I'd be happy wearing flip flops all year long too! We just spent a week at Disney enjoying nice warm weather then came home to find the cold has finally arrived. I wont be surprised to see snow falling soon.
