Nutella Pastry Christmas Tree

 With Christmas fast approaching, what better way to get into the festive season by making your own nutella pastry Christmas tree. On this post, I will be showing you a step by step guide on how to make your own indulgent nutella Christmas tree which is easier to make than you think. They require only a handful of ingredients as shown by the image below.

To make your nutella pastry christmas tree:

Pre-heat your oven to 375F/190C/ Gas Mark 5

Roll out one puff pastry sheet into a large rectangle and place on your prepared baking sheet/tray.

 

Lightly score your puff pastry into the shape of a Christmas tree (triangle) similar to the image below

 

Spread nutella spread over the triangle in a thin layer with your spoon

 

Roll out your second sheet of puff pastry to a large rectangle and place on top of the first one.

 

Carefully trace the shape of the nutella covered triangle underneath

 

Cut out the Christmas tree shape and the trunk and pull away any excess pastry

 

Cut branches into the sides of the triangle

 

Twist the branches away from you, trying to get in 2 turns on the lower branches. Continue moving up the tree, twisting away from you as you go.

 

Cut a small star out of your excess pastry and place on top of your tree.

OPTIONAL: Brush your star and tree with a beaten egg

 

Bake in the preheated oven until puffy and golden brown for 12 to 15 minutes. 

Cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Go Shovel the Snow Xmas Game

 Age 3-11

Equipment needed: 10 pulled apart cotton balls, 1 heavy bowl/plate, 1 bowl (doesn't have to be heavy) and a spoon

Mini-marshmallows are an easy alternative for this game as cotton balls tend to stick together when playing

Go Shovel the Snow Xmas Game

 If you love Christmas, well get excited, because I've got a challenging but fun indoor game for you guys to try. For this simple indoor game, you can shovel snow with out going outside. This game is simple enough for kids but yet very challenging for adults to play.

You require only a couple of items to play this game as shown by the image below.

To play the game:

Start with your cotton balls or marshmallows on your plate and place the handle of your spoon in your mouth. 

 

Try and scoop up the cotton balls onto your spoon

Once scooped up, aim to place them into your bowl. Do this for all your remaining cotton balls or marshmallows.

With this game, you'll tend to find it becomes more difficult with the remaining cotton balls left. It can also be much tougher as well if the cotton balls fall off the plate. Keep trying and you'll be able to scoop all of the snow up!!

How to progress......

• Use a smaller spoon
• Set a time limit of 1 minute to see how many you can get 
• Using smaller cotton balls
• Challenge your family and your friends to see how many they can get
• Try this game blindfolded
