Holiday-gay Puffed Rice Baubles are a new, make-it-yoursclf tree
ornament, reminiscent of the old-fashioned Christmas spirit. They're
as colorful and bright as any store-bought bauble and such an easy
way to personalize your Christmas tree.
Call on the children to help you make the Baubles. Just four simple
ingredients are all you need, besides crisp puffed rice; the result, a
delicious puffed cereal confection that’s ideal for nibblin’ while you sit
around the fire.
The gay tree trims can be fastened to gift packages or used as place
cards or favors for a holiday party. For your Christmas dinner use
this same idea as a centerpiece. Choose a tiny tree or a branch from a
larger one and surround it with gaily decorated Puffed Rice Baubles.
