12 December – easy Christmas no-bake party food

As well as being the Christmas season it’s also birthday season – both our daughters have been blessed with December birthdays. We have one birthday behind us, and another one soon, with my eldest daughter about to turn 16 (eeek!)

With lots of Christmas preparation I don’t really want to get stuck into lots of baking, so last night we tried making a recent Pinterest find for her party tomorrow night:

They are basically a variation on the kid-party essential of top hats.

Ingredients:

Marshmallows
Peppermint candy canes – I managed to find boxes of both full size and mini canes which made life easier (in Poundland – so even better!)
Chocolate

Instructions – so EASY (but messy fun!)
Melt chocolate
Bash larger candy canes
Stab mini canes into marshmallows
Dip them in chocolate
Roll in crushed candy canes
Allow them to cool/set on grease proof paper.
