    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.

    Not yet, I've only had about half a dozen actual stars (not packets) so far.

    Agree with the need for magic stars recipes as it'd be good to make some use of them.

    It'd be handy if we could give the bags away as small gifts, but as we need the codes we can't. Can anyone think of an acceptable way to give away the contents of 80 bags of chocolate without giving the actual bags away?

    I emptied mine into celebrations tubs and gave them away. I have zero self control with open chocs, however I snaffled a few and they are ace on my porridge x

    Maybe tip the contents of each bag into a sandwich bag or something similar & tie with ribbon? I reckon family & friends would happily accept them? Who doesn't love free chocolate?

    The other option would be bagging them up and giving them to a food bank but I don't know if they would accept them without a printed expiry date?

    I'm considering covering a cake entirely in stars, but I don't think parents would approve!

    Must be able to use up a fair few Milky Way in the mix for that and then cover with stars :cool:

    Would that be yours or the 12 year olds? ;)

    I think a milky way star covered cake would go down a treat.

    But having had three 12 year olds I still have no idea. :o They are of the age to be faddy so what ever happens to be in. Is it One direction at the moment. :cool:

    :think: I don't know where the cake is ending up, could be either Hackney or Walthamstow. Very different areas. Also the child has an unspecified disability, so best not to offend.
