Just a quick question, Do you fill the cone with chocolate powder?, or do you actually make-up a cup of drinking chocolate and pour that in?.
I need to know pretty quickly as I will be making these with my Beaver Scouts tomorrow.

You put powder in - a cup of hot chocolate wouldn't last long in a cellophane bag.

I used a teaspoon to put 6 heaped teaspoons in a cone (don't fill it you will use loads). After the first one I just filled the remaining ones up to the same level, stood them in a cup to make filling easier.

If you are doing with Beavers I would suggest that you measure out the drinking chocolate into a plastic cup (like a party cup, clear would be ideal) and mark the required level on the side with a pen. Do this with several cups then all the children need to do is spoon in the chocolate to the required level and tip into the cone. If they work as a pair one could hold the bag open whilst the other pour it in.

Not sure if this has answered your question. Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

400g They were only 54p a tub so I do not mind buying more if I run out. I figured these things are gonna be so sickly anyway, cheapo drinking choco may even be better. Once all the choc chips have melted in with the marshmallows, no-one is gonna notice the quality of the drinking chocolate.

Anyway, I am doing mine for the teachers and teaching assistants so I don`t really care !! I can`t imagine them in the staff room comparing snowman soup quality. lol

B&M Bargains is selling marshmallows in a cute tub for £1.29. Others have found them at H&B too. I would have thought Tesco would sell them. I think they sell at least the white ones...
