Apple-Fluff Holiday Wreaths

[#1]

These Apple Fluff Holiday Wreaths are simple, quick, and best of all, festive. They are also a great way to keep the little ones busy. With all the different desserts, these mini wreaths add a bit of fruit to the selection, which is always a plus. All you need are a few simple ingredients, some kids who love to be a sticky mess, and these fun wreaths will be made in no time. Since they are so quick to make, they can also serve as a fun snack time treat as well. Any apple variety will work since they are all conveniently in holiday colors. Simply core the apple, and slice into rings, about a quarter inch thick each. Next come the marshmallow fluff, green sprinkles, and Craisins to serve as the holly berries (or any dried red fruit). The decorating is the fun part for young ones. Only smear a light layer of fluff - one tablespoon is three grams of sugar. The fluff is only to give the special treat of extra sweetness and to make the sprinkles stick to the apple. Enjoy these holiday apples with a cup of hot cocoa this chilly season! Happy Holidays!

Sound's weird, but would be interesting to try. I wonder what that would taste like with some marscapone cheese mixed with a little creame cheese instead of the marshmallow. Neat idea.

Hello Mindya,

If you try this idea with mascarpone and cream cheese, I'd love to hear how it turns out.

Happy holidays!
