Snowman,fairy and monkey soup and reindeer poo, what are these?

Thank you. Just looking for ideas for homemade gifts and seen people mentioning these.

  • The "soup" appears to be hot chocolate mix (or similar powdered drink mixes), appropriately themed. The "poo" is coloured candy, intended to match the critter mentioned e.g. "reindeer poo" would probably be chocolate coated raisins.

    Personally, I don't see the appeal but they are certainly very popular on this board and there are lots of photos floating about.

    Here's my snowman soup for my boys and OH (and one for me otherwise I will be left out!). I've got a mug each for them to go with it. I'm not sure whether to give it to them on Xmas Eve or Xmas Day? Xmas Eve I think with the other bits and bobs I've got/doing for the boys. I used 2 qunatities of instant hot chocolate (Cadburys), sprinkling of chocolate chips and enough marshmallows for 2 mugs.

  • Thanks for asking this, I too have wondered the same thing. Aren't there poems to accompany them too?

  • Can somebody please tell me what fairy soup is. I can't find it anywhere.
    If I had known then what I know now . . .
