Melted Snowmen and Hot Chocolate Baubles

This week at brownies we started making a few of our many planned Christmas themed crafts. We made melted snowmen biscuits and hot chocolate baubles which are great as decorations and as gifts.

The snowmen biscuits are made from a digestive biscuit, some normal runny icing, marshmallows and icing pens - not exactly rocket science on how they're made and the girls really enjoyed being able to be creative with what had melted off of the snowman and was floating in it's puddle. Our inspiration came from pinterest, the origin of all of our ideas! Some of them were so cute! Some of them just love icing!

The baubles were also a pinterest generated idea with the baubles being placed in a plastic cup filled with sawdust to protect them. We then made funnels out of paper and added drinking chocolate, little marshmallows and other decorative things like edible snowflakes and gold balls. The idea was to put them things in in layers so that the baubles looked pretty too - the girls didn't quite grasp this bit. I may have to have a go myself as they look so lovely (well, nearly)

What christmas craft have you started?
