Snowman Soup Questions (merged)

BezzyK

Hi all

Am hoping to make some snowman soup for my xmas hampers this year. My question is how soon can I make these up? Trying to be mega organised this year and get everything sorted ASAP.

TIA

Kerry

Hello, im so sorry to ask but 45 pages is too far to go through, which seller on ebay do most people use?

When you say "seal" the cone, how do you actually do it. Do you buy a plastic sealer or tape it?

When putting a snowman soup together do you have to keep the marshmallows seperate from the hot chocolate? I don't have the cones, only the normal cello bags used for cards, I'm not sure how to keep them seperate though

Its best to keep the hot choc separate as it ends up all over the place inside the bags. Ive only ever used cello cones, no other shape (I like the disposable icing bags from Lakeland) As mentioned above, you put the hot choc in one bag, seal it ( i use sellotape) then trim any excess cello. then drop this in another bag, add choc drops then marshmallows., Then twist the top and tie with ribbon.
Im not how it would look in rectangle bags but you could have a wee experiment? Hope this helps.

I cant answer the Ebay questions as I use the disposable icing bags from Lakeland. I found these to be a perfect size.
I just twist and seal with sellotape, then at the top I also twist, sellotape and dishuise this with ribbon and a tag.

I'm using the 'Spanish Chocolate' drink from Tescos with mini marshmallows and wondered if anyone had any ideas for a 3rd ingredient?

The chocolate drops would be a bit of a waste as this stuff is liquid gold!

I'm using Cadburys, Tesco have the big tubs half price at the moment so I stocked up! Where is everyone buying chocolate chips from? I made one up and I put nearly half a small pack of chocolate chips in which looked the right amount but will work out quite expensive! Can I bulk buy from somewhere?
