    do you think I could make a white choc dipped spoon? sorry, i'm sure you're chuckling at the simplicity but I'm really not a crafty/homemade type person? Would I just dip a plastic spoon into white choc? How could I package it up? thanks all :)

    What you've explained is what I'd do, dip plastic spoons into the melted chocolate. You could package in cellophane bags or in cling film? You can get gold coloured plastic spoons, I bet they would look fab ;)

    This may sound silly, but is there a purpose to chocolate dipped spoons other than a novel decoration?

    you cant really eat it can you?

    In a fashion you eat it. You use it to stir the 'soup' and it melts in ;) yummy

    How could we add alcohol ??

    My idea for snowman soup for adults was coffee, chocky drops, or even sugar cubes? small ones. and then mini marshmallows. then get a small miniature alcohol baileys or whisky or something similar and attatch it onlo the curling ribbon. i.e tie up the cone wwith curling ribbon then add another piece and on that piece also attatch it to the bottle?

    OMG, where do you want me to start on the things I can't do list :eek:
    I can't stay on top of my cleaning - tomorrow has got to be blitz day!
    I can't touch my toes very easily - without bending my knees!
    I can't make a decent toad in the hole
    I can't say no to Ben & Jerry's ice cream or chocolate
    I can't explain the offside rule in football
    And thousands of other things...!!!
