Candy Corn Christmas Tree Pops!

"O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging,
Not only green when summer's here,
But also when 'tis cold and drear.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me!"

That's how I feel about these candy corn Christmas tree pops! They make me happy and fill me with holiday cheer!

I'm going to go ahead and tell you now, I searched high and low with no luck for my Reindeer Corn. We must have had a run on it in my neck of the woods!

So, once again my sweet hubby came to the rescue.

He ordered my candy straight from Jelly Belly!
Yay for fast shipping!

Hopefully, you will have an easier time finding yours, 'cause you are so gonna wanna make these tree pops!

And that is just how it happened. They popped right into my head when I saw these adorable turkeys!

The fact that these need only five minutes in the oven and are decorated with store bought candies, means you will have plenty of time left over for the more important blessings that this season affords!

So let's get to it!

Reindeer or Christmas Candy Corn, lemon Starburst and candy sprinkles are the ingredients needed.

You will also need lollipop sticks..

..and star cutters for the tree topper.

Before you bake your trees, press and roll out yellow Starburst candies and cut the size stars you will need depending on the size trees you are making.

Pretty colored candy sprinkles, aka, Christmas tree lights.

Place your candy corn on a parchment lined baking pan as shown below making sure that candies are touching each other.

Gently-so as not to move the candies-place baking pan in oven. Bake 5 minutes @ 300 degrees ०F or just as the candies begin to melt.

Remove from oven and immediately twirl/twist/turn the lollipop stick to coat it with the melted candy.

While the candy is still soft and melty-fied, attach star and press in candy sprinkles.


To keep my candies from melting further on the hot pan, I lifted them off (parchment paper and all) with a large spatula to finish cooling on my counter.

Oh how cute these turned out!

Now to make these giftable and up the cuteness just a smidge, we're gonna wrap these in a cello bag and tie up with Christmas ribbon!

Wouldn't these be the merriest little addition to your Christmas party or goody bag?! How about giving your favorite bank teller one at the drive-thru..they've been giving us lollipops for years! 😉

While my oven was still hot and I was feeling crafty, I made this candy corn wreath and slipped some ribbon through it for a sweet and easy ornament!

 These colors!!

Snow-Capped Peppermint Christmas Tree Lollipops

Joy of joys! It's time for my annual "Christmas in July" craft!

Actually, I haven't had time for many crafts this summer, 'cause I've been biz, biz, busy.

You know, family time, celebrating birthdays, enjoying vacations, VBS...all the wonderfulness that makes up Life!

But, I knew this sweet treat had to happen, even though I have made the peppermint trees before.

A few years ago I made them a little bigger and added tree decorations.

I'm liking these smaller pops with the snow and berries and you'll like how quick and easy these are to put together.

Merry Christmas (in July)!

 You will need:peppermint candies, white chocolate, Christmas sprinkles (I used berries), lollipop sticks.

Tools needed:Parchment paper lined baking sheet.

 Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Place candies on lined pan and bake for 8-10 minutes or just until candies begin to melt and stick together. Insert lollipop stick. Cool completely.

Melt white chocolate (or candy melts) and dip the top of lollipop. Hold lollipop straight up and allow chocolate to drip down a little. Gently scrape excess chocolate from the back of the pop on the edge of cup and place on clean parchment paper. Apply sprinkles.

 Let candy set to harden.

Peppermint and chocolate, one of the great flavor combos made cute!

Have a sweet day, Karen   :o)

The History of The Christmas Tree...@ Our House

Get the biggest one you can find and decorate it with LOTS of candy canes and tons of lights. I don't think you can ever have too many of either one. Well, maybe just once..we did. Now, I believe in real trees, I mean, how can you go through the Christmas season without that amazing real tree scent permeating your entire house..well, at least the room the tree is in anyway? So, one December morning, I walk into the living room to find an army of ants..ANTS, covering my beautifully candy cane decked out tree! They were inside every candy cane wrapper..eeww..so, goodbye Christmas Tree! That distant memory along with pine needle embedded carpet, sticky sap hands, and the pain joy of having to take the whole crazy thing down every January (or March.. what, who, was that me?) has not deterred this Christmas crazy girl one little bit! So I say to you, get out there to those Christmas Tree Farms..or Home Depot, and find your family's perfect tree!

 Merry Christmas Tree Choosing & warm up that hot cocoa with mini marshmallows. :o)

 Place peppermints on parchment paper lined sheet pan. Bake 8-10 minutes @ 275 degrees. Upon removing from oven, immediately press decorations into melted candy and insert lollipop stick. Just dab on a little corn syrup if you're having trouble with decorations sticking.
