Elf on the Shelf edible makeover

When the Elf on the Shelf comes out of hiding, you know Christmas is just around the corner.

But as we all know, our little Scout Elves need a little bit of extra help to find a new hiding spot each morning. In fact, sometimes, there are just not enough places to show them where to go.

So this year, instead of leaving them to their own devices and giving them the green light to causing a bit of mischief – how about giving them an edible playground, that not only will your kids delight in, but are able to enjoy the next day!

We’ve compiled three places for your Elf to hang out, while they wait for your little ones to awaken – and which can be enjoyed – and then eaten- by the whole family!
