CHOCOLATE CRISPY TREES

We used the cartons from ice cream screwballs to make our trees. Melt the chocolate, mix with the Rice Crispies and fill the cartons. When set, loosen the chocolate by running hot water over the outside of the mould before tipping and throwing on sprinkles.

SANTA’S HAT MERINGUES

Make a simple meringue: I use 3 egg whites mixed with three quarters of a cup of sugar (half caster & half icing sugar). I added a drop of vanilla and a splash of vinegar. I whisked it all together until I could turn the bowl upside down without it falling out and then spooned it onto a tray lined with grease-proof paper. I then cooked on 100C/210F for around 1 and a half hours, checking every now and then.

MARSHMALLOW REINDEER

Yummy reindeers. We melted chocolate and dipped marshmallows into it. We then placed the marshmallows onto pretzels to make the antlers. We finished by placing sweeties on them to make the nose and eyes and then put them in the fridge to harden. We inserted a cocktail stick to hold them with.

PRINGLES CAN MINCE PIE HOLDER

We wiped out a Pringles can with a slightly damp cloth and once dry we sprinkled icing sugar in the tube and shook to coat the tube. We wrapped in pretty paper and placed a napkin on the top which we secured with an elastic band and then cut to shape. We finished with a homemade gift tag & ribbon.
