Hi I've made mine up already. Asking as everything is sealed in cellophane then they should last as long as the sell by date on the packets of the things your putting in your in. Fingers crossed or else I'll get some funny looks come Xmas day! X

Does anyone have the link to a lady who did these a few years ago, they were brilliant and she had a great poem to go with them

Will the marshmallows stay 'fresh'? Even though you've re-sealed them in cellophane won't the air make them dry? (I'm hoping the answer is they'll be fine - cause I really want to make mine!! I've got all the ingredients!)

Ive done mine too,all sealed in cellophane! i have a fair tomorrow night, so didnt have much choice, they will be fine though! xx

Christmas fairs is different though cause I would say the majority would be drank/eaten rather than gifted. The ones I plan on making will be given as Christmas presents and therefore won't be 'opened' until the big day itself. Please reassure me

Hey Vikki_louise I have wrote dwn the poems for fairy and monkey soup. I'm on my phone just nw but ill get on the laptop and put them on for u xx

Hmmm I'm not sure....you have me worrying now lol! I'm just working on the basis that if you say open something and reseal it/ wrap it up it it'll usually keep .... But I guess 2 and a half months is a long time so I get what you are saying!! Mine are quite tightly packed sothis may help....but I can easily re open mine and check closer to the big day before giving them out and replace if need be.

Thanks for pointing this out.....can you imagine it? Stale marshmallows for Xmas? Oh the shame!!

I think u got the Snowman soup one. Heres the Fairy and monkey milkshake ones.

Fairy Milkshake/Soup
(Strawberry milkshake, marshmallow and white choc)
Pink fairy powder, white chocolate too,
Just for fairys and girls like you,
Add some milk and mix it through
Make a wish and hope it comes true

Monkey Milkshake/Soup/Goo
(Choc milkshake, choc buttons and foamy bananas)
A cheeky monkey shake just for you,
Add some milk and stirr it through,
Add some bananas and chocolate buttons too,
And it will turn into banana goo

Hope that helps xx
