The Flame

The secret to this Bright Idea? It’s amazingly, blazingly easy!

What You Need: 1 bag (14 oz.) M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies
for the Holidays
1 straight-sided clear glass bud vase
12-inch squares of red, orange and yellow cellophane
Scissors
Ribbon
Double-sided tape

What To Do: 1. Fill the bud vase almost to the top with M&M’S® Brand
Milk Chocolate Candies for the Holidays.
2. Create a flame using the different colors of cellophane squares.
Layer the squares on top of each other.

Pick up the squares by
grabbing them in the center. While holding them, twist the pieces of
cellophane around each other. Tape the bottom of the cellophane flame
so that it doesn’t unfurl itself.

Plant the flame into the top of the
vase filled with M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for the
Holidays.
3. Tie a bow around the top of the vase to finish it off.

Makes 1 flame
