Made all my coffee snowman soup as i know everything thing in there will last till we do fete,

I know its a bit early to be doing the real snowman soup! but i can,t find any cheap chocolate chips to put in all what i,ve seen are exensive, could you use chocolate buttons instead? and if so--would you leave them whole or break them up a little?,

Chocolate buttons work great & I would just leave them whole Have fun making them. Make up 1 of each & see which you prefer.

Hi, I would just like to ask how far in advance can you make up the snowman soup.
Thanks.

I can't see any reason you couldn't start making them now if you liked. The main thing to check is the dates on the items you are using (hot choc, marshmallows, choc & candy canes), assuming those are all ok til christmas have fun making

I would think if you are going to make them in advance you would need to make sure its super air tight as I think the mallows would go hard, well I had a packet that did before.

What size cone bags would you recommend, ive seen large and medium ones on ebay but im unsure which would be best, i gotta say these look fantastic, im not the most crafty or artistic person but im definatley gonna give these a go.

Thanks Helenhugs and Emma for the quick reply. Might have to try it out, I have some snowman bags that I'm thinking of using rather than cones so I might have a go and see what it looks like.
