    These look like a great idea too. I think I'll have to see what I can find in the shops to make these tomorrow :)

    I went with the pint glasses (no Morrisons near me, infact, there's nothing much near me!) and i don't think they came out too bad, will try to post a pic soon :)

    They look really good!

    One suggestion, though, could you get something with a lighter colour like the tissue at the bottom to put on top as well? They in could look like the froth you get in beer. It looks fine as it is though, of course. :)

    It'd be harder to reach the chocolates the other way around though xD
    Maybe if you just added a little bit from the bottom to the top or something? So it looks like the bubbles are going upwards? xD
  • Personally I think it would look silly in a glass unless the glass was full and had no tissue paper in the bottom.

    If you have a morrisons near you then they have clear glass desert bowls for £1.99 for 4 so just under 50p each, they look quite nice and would be perfect!

    If these bowls you mention are the same as the ones I use, they are actually 4 for 99p! making them 25p each roughly.

    I used them last year for my pots of gold and are the perfect size! I have already been and brought 4 packs of 4 to start making them again this year :D

    To all the people that have done them in the past - Has anyone you gave them to ever won on the scratchcards/lottery? :D
