Hi all

How soon can I make mine up as I dont want the marshmellows to go funny if I make them too soon?? When do you all make yours??

Thanks

I was wondering when to make them up too, I'm doing them for teachers presents.

hiya, how much does everyone sell theirs for?

I usually sell mine for £1.50 - it covers the costs of all the stuff and is still making a little profit

Ive made some! woo hoo

Quite chuffed with them too as im not very good at homemade stuff, so all I need to write the little poem and instructions.

Used a instant choco mix asda choc chips and mini mallows also from asda, candy canes from poundland and chucked a mini choco santa in for good measure.

Here is piccy.




Just giving them to kids in the family but think some adults will be wanting one too.

Cheers ladies, I originally wanted litle chocolate snow men to put in and make it more snowman soup themed but couldnt find any. SO had to make do with ole Santa there

I made one up just over 2 weeks ago and yesterday I noticed that the marshmallows had started to dry out a tiny little bit, although still edible. So I know that I can make them up a fews days in advance and they will still last a week once given to school/playschool teachers.

Finally found a solution for my soup....I'm using the 'Spanish Chocolate' available from Tescos along with the usual marshmallows but the chocolate is very rich so doesnt really need additional drops to melt in!

So as an alternative I've made some Amaretto Biscotti and added a few to each soup!

I've also packaged each part of the soup individually to ensure maximum freshness :cool:

Think I need a bit more ribbon but you get the idea
