    I make mine in loaf tins or small cake tins.

    They are very easy. I will make some this evening and post some pics.
    I need an excuse to do some. It is a little early for presents, but I am sure we could manage to eat them.:rotfl:

    Oh good. The easier the better. I'm not that great in the kitchen haha. Oh I had every intention of having a few practise runs ;) just to make sure they are ok for presents you see, not because I am a chocoholic! :rotfl:
  • I'm so glad today is over, it was my DD and DS joint birthday party...DS was 4 on 21st and DD will be 6 on tues so to save some money I decided to have a joint party for them, I was just very lucky that I had the help of hubby and my very lovely cousin-in-law to be, she is local Beaver/Cub leader and is fab with kids...she organised loads of party games and kept them all occupied and under control for over an hour!

    Just go DD birthday on Tues and then I can properly concentrate on christmas..Although i have nearly finished! but I use their birthdays as a green light for christmas talk!

    Cant believe its only just over 8 weeks! where has his year gone?!

    aww pleased all went well, im sure they had a wonderful day! put your feet up with some hot chocolate (or something a little stronger!) and relax! Both my dd's birthdays are early october, and im exactly the same, once there over, its christmas green light! except they still arent allowed to sing xmas songs till we see cola advert... hoping we dont have too long to wait!

    Just ordered two of them. They are really sweet. Ordered the deer one and the cupcake one. Will be sure to wear one with my mother on Christmas morning, when we are cooking dinner. :D

    I also ordered a nice green bird bedding set.

    Total price £12 for all three, including delivery at £3.90, due to two codes from hot deals. :j
