Hi! I was wondering if anyone could help. My 10 year old doesn't like hot chocolate, but I would really like to make a snowman soup for his Christmas Eve hamper, any ideas what I could use instead?? Many Thanks.

This is my recipe:

8 heaped teaspoons of Hot Chocolate.
A handful of Chocolate Chips.
4 large marshmallows (snowman marshmallows from Aldi).
A handful of Small Marshmallows.

Method:

I am using Lakelands piping bags for my snowman soups, you need to use two for each one.

Put the 8 heaped tea spoons of the hot chocolate in the first cone, then tape it up and make it all neat.



Now place that inside the other cone.

Put in the chocolate chips, then the marshmallows and tie up the bag.

I then tied ribbon and the snowman soup label.



Voila!! A gorgeous Winter warmer gift.

The Poem I used.

This snowman soup is just for you
Four spoons per cup,
There’s enough for two,
Add some hot water and fill it up
not too full mind, leave room in the cup
for there are mallows in there
and some chocolate chips too
Enjoy this winter warmer
from me to you

I did these this week as favours for my annual cookie swap party.
I found "chocolate santa lollies" in Lidl with I used for the stirring sticks-they were in a pack of 10 for 99p.

I think milkshake is a good one if they like that. Otherwise maybe white hot chocolate or strawberry flavoured from whittards which are quite nice

Morning, just wondered if any of you regular makers could answer a few queries / questions for me, thanks

Do any of you have a recommended seller on Ebay that you use for cones.

And where is the cheapest place for the candy canes, I think I saw some in Aldi but cant remember.

Many thanks for your help in anticipation

My bags have arrived this morning. I've got the oblong bags. I'll be attempting my first ever this afternoon, and I'm also making pots of gold and chocolate slabs.

Deep breathes........... I can do this.....

Not really too sure about the bags as when I searched I think it really depended a lot on the quantities you were looking for. With regards to the candy canes I got mine from my local
Poundland. There are 12 in the box. Hope this helps xox
