Question

I am just about to start to make some snowman soup up

i have been told that i need to use 2 cones per soup

the cone with the hot choc in you have to cut down but what does everyone else do with their left over bit of cellophane???

as i don't like to waste anything :rotfl:

Shezmit I use my offcuts either to cover homemade chocolate lollies that I make or roll them into smaller cones and use to bag up sparkly reindeer food that I then put inside a pretty organza type drawstring bag. This year I have put my snowman soups into Christmas mugs that I got in a card shop closing sale last January for 24p each, I have padded the mugs out with shredded gift bag filler and then used the upside down offcut to seal everything together. I'm not sure if that make sense, but looks great! I will try and post a photo when I have finished printing my labels off later today.

I make them and put them in a big tupperware dish i have.

This year i have made mini bas of reindeer food, did larger bags last year but wanted to use up these bags i had. They look so cute, just have to add tags now.

I've just bought some of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170406047680&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Only bought them yesterday so obviously haven't received them yet. Will report back when they arrive.
