Fit second triangle on top, sealing edges. Cut three slits (on an outward, downward angle) on the two sides. Turn the points up slightly to form christmas tree branches.

We made this at high school MANY years ago and it is so easy and really nice. Sorry but don't have any nutritional info. But at Christmas who cares.
