  • Might seem a weird question but does anyone know if you can get cola candy canes?

    Probably not any help but we always use to buy cola candy canes from Harrods. Not tried in the past couple of years but they are/were available

    I used piping bags last year and they were fine. I put the chocolate powder in one & then cut it down and fastened it with a bit of tape. Then I put that inside another piping bag and filled that with chocolate chips & mini marshmallows and tied some curling ribbon around the top to fasten it.
    I just tried to find a photo but couldn't. :(

    If I remember rightly the piping bags came from Lakeland in a deal with some other bits.

    Oh sounds like a good idea :) was wondering about the powder mixing into the marshmallows but now t makes sense putting one bag into another :)

  • I have already done all my Christmas, i blitzed it one month on my credit card and then with my next wage paid it all in full, so mine is all done and wrapped, in ways its good and ways its bad. I always get really excited about giving folk presents when you have got them something amazing! and now that i have done my shopping so early i have to wait all that time to see the amazing look on their faces!
    Never regret anything that made you smile ;)

    How true Kaymumofthree :) it is a time to count our blessings. ( it's so easy to get caught up in things and loose sight of what is important)

    All the lovelies on here certainly spread loving, thoughtful, kindness, support and plenty of Christmas cheer :) xxx
