Sammy-Kaye18 - Re your chocolate/orange homemade gifts, I made which I loved and I am no cook so chocolate orange truffles, coated in chocolate sprinkles. They went down a storm for me, all I did was used terrys chocolate orange as a substitute for the normal chocolate to make the truffles.

Oh wow I never thought of that - that is a good idea. Plus I know that options do a hot chocolate/orange sachet too so might be able to get away with using that in my snow man soups too.

What about strawberry flavoured cocount ice - or ruffle bar type things but with white chocolate for your strawberry and cream one.

American Cocolate Fudge Recipe

Ingredients
3 cups sugar (mix of white and icing sugar*)
3/4 cup butter
2/3 cup or 5 oz evaporated milk
2 cups marshmallows or marshmallow cream
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet dark or plain chocolate (not milk**)
½ cup chopped nuts (optional)

How To
Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter or Crisco.
In large saucepan combine the first 3 ingredients. Stir over low heat until blended.
Increase heat to Medium and bring to a full-rolling boil being careful not to mistake escaping air bubbles for boiling. Boil slowly, stirring constantly for 5 minutes. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of pan, and to go the full 5 minutes until it hits the soft-ball stage.***
Remove from heat, quickly stir in vanilla, marshmallows until chocolate is melted. Add nuts.
Turn into greased pan and cool on the countertop, then stick in the fridge until firm. Cut into cubes when solid. Refrigerate and store in Tupperware.
Makes 2 pounds. Keeps for about a week and tastes fresh, but keep in the fridge.

Sorry I can only cook in cups, metric cooking baffles me. I even did a Learn Direct course when I moved here to learn metric, but it stresses me out in the kitchen!
