Graham Cracker Christmas Trees
Busy? Less than a couple of weeks until Christmas. My house is piling up with gifts that need to be wrapped and to-do lists. Though all the chaos, it's great to have wholesome snack options on hand for the kiddos (and adults too!). Today, I am sharing a fun and simple idea to include Honey Maid Graham Crackers as a fun and festive treat. This is a post in partnership with Honey Maid, all opinions are my own.
Not that my son really needs a special invitation to eat Honey Maid Graham Crackers as a snack. He's a hungry teen, who will gladly munch on them straight from the box. Hook him up with a tall glass of milk and he's a happy dude. Seriously.
To make something a little extra fun, I visited the Honey Maid website to check out some recipe ideas. I wanted to do something extra fun and festive. I stumbled on these adorable Graham Cracker Christmas Trees. Not only were they unbelievably cute, but they seemed like a fun way to let kids create their own treat and have a little fun!
Here's what you'll need to make these:
For each tree: One full length Graham Cracker, Green Decorating Icing & Small Red Candies
Break the full size graham cracker in half and then "saw" each half diagonally with a knife. (Of course best if an adult does this part!).
Should look like this:
Next, pipe a small amount of icing to the uncut side of each triangle to hold them together. I did this in two parts and then repeated to get those to "half" trees to stick together. Then, I let the icing firm up for about 10-15 minutes. Lastly, ice the "edges" of the tree and press your candy "ornaments" into it. Lastly, I added one red candy to the top by adding another pinch of icing. Let dry completely. Voila! So easy, now you have a fun treat! Let the kids have at it!
Whatever you're doing this busy time of the year, hopefully you have a chance to sneak in a fun and wholesome snack too! Now on to some MORE fun!

What a cute and fun snack! My kids would love them!
No that's thinking outside the gingerbread house. Cute. #HoneyMaid #ThisIsWholesome
These little trees are so cute. I will have to make some to go around my gingerbread village.
These would be perfect to put around my gingerbread house. I will have to make some they look so cute and easy to make.
Those are super adorable trees! My kids love Honey Grahams and do not need an invitation either. Add some candies and frosting, they are in heaven!
These are some really cute festive trees. I love how you always come up with innovative ideas!
Thanks! I love trying and coming up with new ideas. Keeps things fun around here 😉
What a cute idea! I bet my kids would love these, add more frosting on the triangles for sprinkles too!
I pretty much just do them the traditional way although sometimes I add a little peanut butter.
Sounds yummy! Quick and delicious snacks are always a win!
We have all our smores in the summer by the fire, yet I've heard of them being done in the oven. I'll have to try that!
I think that after I "sawed" the graham crackers in half, that my grand daughter could to the rest all on her own. I'll have to pick up the ingredients tomorrow. Perfect for her Christmas party at school, next week.
Aww those trees are adorable! I'd love to have my nieces design their own!
These are so cute and simple to make. I will have to try making these this weekend with my friends kids.
Those trees are adorable! I would love to make those with the kids. I am going to have to check out the other Honey Maid recipes now!
That is such a cute idea, I'd love to make these!
Okay, those trees are seriously adorable! What a creative and festive craft and treat!
What a cute and easy idea, I bake 3d cookies but this looks so much easier. We also love making smores with the leftover grahams!
You are a freaking genius! Those look gorgeous AND tasty.
That is so cute and so totally easy to do. Even I could do it and that is saying a lot. Lol... I will try to make it to the Twitter party. Thanks for sharing.
Those graham cracker trees are SO stinkin' cute. I totally want to try those.
