Toffee Apple. We'd still love to see your creations. I hope it hasn't spoiled your weekend.

Mary - I'm off to buy them for you now.

Toothfairy - I love your snowmen soups. They are perfect and as Toffee says, I love the tinsel - It makes them more festive looking.

Well ToothFairy great mind think alike! Thats what I have been doint this evening.... snowman soup! Will take pics tomorrow! DS helped a bit well empties the marshmallows all over the table and tried nicking everything he could! How did you attach the candy canes? Just sellotape? I have made 5 and ran out of hot chocolate but I dont think I will need anymore! Next year when DS is in school I may need to make a few more but I will be a seasoned pro at them by then!

Tell me about it! Yet another John and Edward saga! Also question guys I have added food colouring to sugar ready for reindeer food and wondering how to dry it out cos its a bit stuck together!

I'd just let it air dry. Then put it in a bag and bash it a bit to break it up again. I've just bought edible glitter from ebay, some little tiny cellophane bags which self seal, and a DVD for DD2. National Velvet LOL. DD is a horse lover too, even I wanted to ride the National when I first saw that film.

I used sellotape to put canes on.....tried tying them on and I didnt like the way they looked.....u really cant notice the sellotape....I have finished 12 of them now.....a few different ones aswell. But ran out of the tinsel I had and I tried with some thinner tinsel but not the same effect!! I have used nearly 2 tubs of cadburys instant choc powder (poundland), 2 bags of choc chips, 2 bags of mini marshmallows. Not too bad by my reckoning lol
