Every year, my mom puts up two Christmas trees: the real one, with all of the ornaments we've had forever (including ones I made when I was little), and the fake one, decorated entirely with chocolate ornaments.
Have you ever heard of chocolate ornaments? It's a normal thing in Europe (where I grew up, see #1 here if you're confused) but it's just starting to show up here in the States.
They're foil wrapped chocolates that include a string so you can hang them on the tree. You can find them at Aldi or at World Market. Or online here:
And throughout the holiday season, we munch on the chocolate ornaments, and then my mom will refill the tree every so often. It's a very exciting time for my sweet tooth!
What's your favorite Christmas tradition?
Oh my goodness, I would eat the whole tree!! And if I didn't, my dog would!! Love the idea of it though!
