What could be nicer for your feathered and furry friends than finding a treat in this frozen wreath? Add a dash of patience to the list of things you need to make this treat. This wreath takes some time to make because it must be frozen in layers.

For the first layer, decide how you want the front of the wreath to look. Do you want cranberries and orange slices? Or wild berries and cedar sprigs? Place about an inch of ingredients in the bundt pan and cover it with water. Let it freeze. After it is frozen, add more layers in the same way. With the last layer, you may want to arrange sprigs of greenery that hang over the sides of the pan to give the wreath a fuller look.

When a cold and snowy day arrives, pop the wreath from the pan and hang it outside for your feathered and furry friends. As it slowly melts, they will find it a real tweet.

You will need…

  • A bundt pan or gelatin mold pan with an open center.
  • Sprigs of greenery, such as pine, cedar, or spruce.
  • Any or all of the following: cranberries, crabapples, wild berries, orange slices, walnuts or other nuts, sunflower seeds, and any other fun ingredients you can think of.
  • A wide, attractive ribbon to hang it.
