how did you get the ferreros to stick to the ball?

i really want to make the malteser tree, did you roll the ball in melted chocolate first then stick on the teasers? i bet it was sooooo messy!:D

Love all your trees - they sell a sort of ball shaped tree in the Christmas decoration aisle at Tesco - £3.30 on offer. Thats the same sort I used for mine - just covered in foil and then used doubled sided tape if sweets are wrapped - that way you don't need to get the tree to stand up etc.

Also found this Ferrero Xmas tree one which I will be trying with Celebrations:


With my tree I wrapped the ball shape with double sided tape - but also put some on the sweets too as they did fall off a bit.

For those thinking of doing a Ferrero Christmas tree - have just checked and they are doing boxes of 30 for £4 at Tesco - the Christmas tree above takes 24.
