Snowman Soup Questions (merged)

i sold 13 snowmen soups yesterday to my friends:j at £2 each. Now have only 2 left (and my boys want them!) so have to replenish my stocks in time to give some out to teachers etc!

If you're doing snowman soup this year and have a 99p store near you...definatly give it a try for hot choc....I just picked up 3 whopping 1kg Cadburys Highlights drinking choc for 99p a bag....admittedly it does say for vending machines....BUT...I've just used three teaspoons to a mug, and I can't tell any difference using hot water
:money:

They may also have other types, such as Galaxy vending hot choc, but the last bag in our 99p store was split....these are huge bags and the best before on mine was end Jan 2010..the powder is loose in the bag, it doesn't have vending machine cups in.

Update...to give you an idea of how much these bags make....out of one 1kg bag I've made 14 snowman soups and got enough left for 2 hot chocs for me, I used 4 tablespoons per snowman soup, as my cones are fairly big.

Why use Ebay for your cones?, I got mine from soaposh for at least £2 less than the cheapest Ebayer, and they do 12" & 17" cones, so you don't need to trim the inner cone to fit.

I just checked out soaposh i got 100 from e bay for around 10.00 including postage from soaposh it would be £12.00 plus postage.

I want to make a coffee cone for my mum. I dont want to use a whitener but thought i might use sugar. Has anyone made a coffee cone and if so how did you assemble it? I also have 2 mini chocs from Thorntons to pop in the top of the cone too as she wont want choccie drops and marshmellows on it.
