This Christmas tree rice chip is very fun and funny to make! You can really use the candy that you want as an ornament. It's also delicious and sweet, which is perfect for this Christmas atmosphere. I like having kids help me with this because they really can't mess up. This is great for parties, cake sales, or just a fun snack for kids on Christmas day. Enjoy!
