I was in home bargains this morning, and they had large bags 500g of supercook mini marchmellows for 49p, though this might be a help to those doing nowman soup. They werenew intoday so might be worth a check if you have a HOme bargians near you

Gosh I'm like a big kid I'm so excited! The 2nd one in the picture doesn't look as good as the first never mind!
It's killing me not being able to show any of my family and friends, I've decided to do a little hamper for my mum and my sis which will have some snowman soup, yule logs and possibly a pot of gold and some reindeer food for the kids!
I'm on the look out for the chocolate spoons has anyone seen any around?

I sold my first batch of snowman soup and reindeer food yesterday to a shop doing a Christmas Fayre - two dozen of each :j:j

I have my first school fete in a couple of weeks. Got all my stuff together - just need to get my assembly line going:rotfl: .

Poohzee how much did you charge for your 'soup'?

Do you need to use 2 bags or can you just use one?

They look great!

For chocolate spoons, I've bought a packet of teaspoons and dipped the bowl bit in melted chocolate. Do it a few times to get better chocolate coverage You can get packets of teaspoons quite cheaply, or even search out odd spoons in charity shops.

hels102,can i just ask how you did the tags?i know you can print them off the computer....are they laminated or in card?

Hi Craftlady, I am charging the shop £1 for the snowman soup but to customers I am charging £1.50. I worked out that it cost me about 48p to make one so quite chuffed. Got another shop order today!:j

Hi Shazz heres the link to the text for the snowman soup I printed one batch on paper then laminated them and one batch on card and they both look great, just hole punched the corner and tied it to the cone with the ribbon

Attempted snowman soup for a couple of cup hampers I want to do for my kids and our friends kids. Need to print tag still but that will have to wait as OH needs to put in the continuous ink supply.
