Winter-inspired treats and eats

You might not be able to make chocolate reindeer, but you can make chocolate mousse and that’s kind of the same thing!

Pick up a pack of your favourite mousse, a packet of white marshmallows and a bag of musk sticks from the supermarket and let the kids whip up a sweet reindeer treat. Simply set the mousse into small ramekins then top with a white marshmallow nose and two musk stick antlers.

Are you ready for an adventure of gastronomic proportions? Then it’s time to create your very own snowy mountain!

Grab a packet of Snowballs (chocolate and coconut-covered marshmallows) and a couple of Flakes from the supermarket. Arrange the snowballs into a peak on a plate, nestling the Flakes in the gaps to create some rugged peaks. Serve with piping-hot mugs of hot chocolate for a decadent, winter-inspired treat.

Here’s a sweet little sleigh that’s fun to make with all those leftover post-Christmas candy canes.

Simply push the long ends of two candy canes into a fun-size chocolate bar of your choice. It’s a good idea to trim the ends first so you don’t have overly-long runners. If you like, you can top the sleigh with a Tiny Teddy — just make a small cut into the top of the chocolate bar and push the Teddy in feet first.

Snow cones are the perfect wintery treat for a hot summers day.

All you need to do is crush some ice — you can do this in your blender or simply wrap a handful of ice cubes up in a clean tea towel and pound with a rolling pin. Shape it into a large ball, pop it into a cup and top with your favourite syrup for a delicious, frozen treat.
