  • Can I ask if sweets and marshmallows keep ok if you wrap them now? Or are you just really careful about tying bags very tight?

    Would like to start making up some but worried they will go off abit before xmas!
  • Love this thread and am still working may way through reading it all.

    Has anyone done a Halloween version? I was thinking of adding a brim to the cones so they look witches hatish. Just looking for some "scary" chocolates now and I'm sure I've seen orange and black marshmallows too but I can't remember where :confused:

    i was also wondering this , so

  • I don't think the marshmallows keep that well. They'd still be perfectly edible but I found they go a bit smushy and cracked looking, IYKWIM.

  • I agree i wouldnt do the marshmellows too far in advance as they do toughen abit on the outside and go cracked / shrivelled looking. i will do mine 2 weeks before Christmas this year.

    That's where i ordered mine from and i haven't recieved them either. I ordered test tubes the same day and got them the very next day so i don't think they can blame the post!
