Chocolate Christmas Tree Edible Piñata

These Chocolate Christmas Tree Edible Piñatas are so much fun!…and delicious!

December is all about traditions in our family. Starting with the first day of the month, when we usually put  out and decorate our Christmas tree to the last day of the year when…we have to smash a piñata 🙂 My daughter thinks this will release all the good things for the next year…aka sweets, mollies…just great surprises!

Over the years we had all types of pinatas. Bought from the shops stuffed with all the candies and chocolates you can think of, homemade ones in probably the strangest shapes ever but never edible ones.

This year we have decided to include more chocolate (if it’s possible ..:) ) and create Chocolate Christmas Tree pinatas. This way there will be no waste 🙂

What could be more fun than ice cream waffles dipped in chocolate, filled with all your favorite candies, covered in chocolate sprinkles? This delicious surprise treat is sooo great, for both kids and adults and so easy to make.

Surprise your guests this time of the year with these cute and delicious edible pints!

I am warning you. Be prepared for some serious fingers licking!
