If you have been following me then you know I love creating food art. Not serious art but rather using food to help me entertain. This year for our Openhouse I wanted something fun, but something people would actually eat. A Pillsbury Croissant Christmas Tree seemed the perfect next step,
Over the years I have created a Veggie tree and I even created a Croissant Wreath a few times. This one is quick and easy and people actually ate it.
Making a Pillsbury Croissant Christmas Tree
Once again it was the morning of the openhouse and I had yet to decide on what I wanted to create. A quick search of Pinterest for inspiration and I figured it out. Time was a bit of an issue. This is a pretty fail safe option, honestly it really is. I made this so quickly I forgot to take a lot of pictures but I will verbally walk you through.
What you will need:
A few simple ingresdients and actually stuff I always keep on hand. Bit of a tip, always keep Pillsbury biscuits or croissants on hand, they ar so easy to get creative with. (also hellof a good dip, cuz you can never go wrong with that).
- 2 cans Pillsbury croissant rolls,
- one red pepper,
- small amount of broccoli
- small container of Hell’ofa Good dip
How to Make the Croissant Christmas Tree:
All you will need is a cookie sheet, some parchment paper and a sharp knife. This tree will amaze your guests and keep them full at the same time.
- Pop the two packages of Pillsbury and keep in log shape,
- cut each into 16 circles and place on pan.
- one for tree top, two in secod row, three per row, 4 per row, 5 per row and one for trunk
- Bake at 375 for 15 minutes,
- slice and dice the broccoli and pepper
- slather dip over the warm rolls
- add brocolli and pepper to the dip
- and if you are really creative cut a quarter of your yellow pepper into a star, really easy
