How to Make Christmas Edible Chocolate Pine Cones

Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe

2 cups biscuits
2/3 cup cream cheese
1 cup chocolate cereal (plus more if needed)
1/3 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for the paste)
Powdered sugar for dusting

Step by Step Guide

1. Begin by lining a baking tray with a Silpat mat. This handy mat will keep your pine cones from sticking and make cleanup a breeze. Set it aside for now.

2. Grab your food processor and let’s get crushing! Blitz those biscuits until they’re nice and crumbly. This will be the base of our pine cone dough.

3. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with shredded coconut, cream cheese, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar (if you’re using it).

4. Stir until everything is blended together into a smooth, thick dough.

5. Divide your dough into 8 equal parts. Shape each piece into a cone, with the pointy end at the top. Place each cone on your prepared baking tray.

6. Here’s where the fun part begins! Starting at the bottom of each cone, press chocolate cereal pieces into the dough, working your way up in a spiral pattern. Angle each piece slightly upwards to mimic the look of pine cone scales.

7. For an extra festive flair, dust your chocolate pine cones with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar. This adds a snowy, wintery touch that’s perfect for the holidays.

8. Let the pine cones set for a bit to firm up. And voilà – you’ve got a delightful, edible Christmas decoration that’s sure to be a hit with everyone!
