Spread the one triangle with Clover Butro, herbs, chilli flakes and parmesan. Place the other triangle over the top to cover, matching the corners. Cut into slits for the tree branches leaving the centre uncut to form the trunk. Pull the strips and twist. Brush with more Clover Butro and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
