Bake treats for toddler group tomorrow?

Hi all, we're having a little Christmas party at toddler group tomorrow and parents have been asked to bring either crisps, sweets or cakes.
I have baking ingredients just need some inspiration. (I'm a bit of a show off by the way!)
Considered Twink's Hobnobs, but kinda wanted something more festive (we're already having mince pies for the adults). However I am not in the mood for lots of icing things (show off, but lazy!)
Any ideas gratefully recieved.
Thanks
Ragz

My children have taken butterfly buns to their Scout parties tonight. They're 13 and 15 so made and decorated them themselves
DD's are piped with pink icing and sprinkles; DS wanted green (as it's festive, he said :eek: :rotfl: ) and has decorated his with icing sugar dusting, too. They do look festive
He didn't do piping, btw, just used a pallet knife.

Do you have any festive biscuit cutters? If so you could make some gingerbread men.
Or, if not, cut squares out of a plain biscuit recipe, then when they have cooled down ice them to look like presents.Grocery budget in 2023 £2279.18/£2700Grocery budget in 2022 £2304.76/£2400Grocery budget in 2021 £2107.86/£2200Grocery budget in 2020 £2193.02/£2160Saving for Christmas 2023 #15 £ 90/ £3650 -
Chocolate crispies - you can make these by melting either white, milk or dark chocolate and stirring in rice crispies or cornflakes, then putting them in paper cases to set.
I made these for Halloween treats (using 'good' chocolate from Aldi) and they were more popular than the sweets with trick or treaters.somewhere between Heaven and Woolworth's0 -
My gingerbread men used to be popular at toddler group. I had a little man and little lady cutter,[SIZE=-1]"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"[/SIZE]

I've made some fairy cakes (just normal vanilla sponge), "iced" with melted chocolate and covered with sprinkles. Veeeeeeeery tasty. In fact I am fighting with my inner demons about having a couple right now!!!I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it'll be with a knife

HI thanks everyone for your help. I've only just got home and need to make them by 9.30am so may actually end up making twink's as I haven't got any chocolate (doesn't last long here!) or any fancy cutters. Better go find the recipe and get busy. But I will definitely be saving these ideas for the future so thanks again!
