MD this is the point - as a kid you pick the cake etc with the most diff lollies so that your mum has to buy HEAPS of lollies to get enough in one colour - and you eat the rest...
now, since miss E is only 2 so clearly not clued into doing this (yet) - YOU my dear get to eat all the 'leftovers'. YUM!
Depends on the age group I guess. I wouldn't give boiled lollies to lots of kids under 5 I've seen too many choke because they just aren't used to them.
Pregpan you have obviously employed this technique in the past!!? There are times when a mother must clearly sacrifice herself for her children's sake.
Suga - hmm great idea, but boiled lollies are not cool at a toddler party! Though it's a good thing to remember for other occasions.
and to think I sat there picking out all the black, yellow, orange and green jelly beans out of the 10 kg box I bought so I could have the right colours for my wedding.......
