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.

Ok I haven't checked ebay but I did just measure 1 of my cones for you. It is 14" from top to tip if that helps. I would imagine the size could be influenced though by how many servings you wanted to place in each bag. I tend to do 2 in mine, some people only do 1, but others might do 3 as a family one or something.

Hi Irishgirl,
Someone told me on the Christmas Crafting thread that they saw some in their Morrisons

Went into Asda today to get these and they said £1 each on the shelf. Picked up two just incase the label was just missing and they went through at £1 each. Went to customer services and they just said it must be an online exclusive so I just returned them.

edit: just had a closer look at the pic on the website and it looks like pink and white bags on offer. Are these the ones people are getting?

I had checked online to see when they were on offer until and didn't notice that they were the mixed ones but when I went in today I saw they were pink and whites that were on offer, I got the last two bags anyway, who says snowmen can't have pink and white marshmallows, it's what a snowman would have to heat his little self up, isn't it. They didn't have any chocolate drops, I think the production lines have started.

I also got the last 2 bags of the white/pink mallows in my local ASDA but I'm going to use the white mallows for snowman soup and the pink mallows for fairy soup! My daughter doesn't like hot chocolate so I've bought pink ovaltine mix from instore (£1) it's like a milkshake powder so this will replace the chocolate, then add white chocolate buttons and finish with the pink mallows, instead of a candy cane I have a little pink wand that I will stick to the cellophane! Any pink mallows left over will be used for making my rocky road squares or to decorate white chocolate slabs!

My store didnt have the pink and white ones so going to try another one today now that I know its deffo on in store too

I never thought of that, my niece and nephew rarely have hot choc, my sister isn't sure they'll like it. so if you don't mind Bluestarrz, i'll be making this Will do pink for my niece. And i'll do choccy milkshake for my nephew - he's a chocolate monster already!!!
Is there any tags for "fairy soup" and also any ideas what I could call the choccy milkshake? Well chuffed now! Thanks guys

Emms - I got my marshmellows a few weeks back but mine were all white ones, didn't notice mixed bags to be honest but they were the 2 for £1 bags.

IrishGirl - I know I have a Morrisons somewhere but not very close to me. Tesco didn't have any yday Still I did get some chocolate coins. What shops do you have near you? Will get OH to check Asda on his lunch.
