MrsMac ... thanks so much for that ... i didn't have any xmas cookie cutters but i had number cookie cutters so i made numbers 2 & 5 cookies (as in 25th of Dec)
Marydean ... oh, what a brilliant idea ... i purchased Coles brand Arrowroot biscuit ($1.29 pkt ... though ALDI have them for 89c a pkt) ... i iced some with white, some with red & some with green icing ... then i stuck on top a jelly xmas lolly whilst the icing was soft (a bag of 24 of them from Coles for $4.98, ... has snowmen, santas, xmas trees, santa going down the chimney & cute teddies wearing a santa hat ... these lollies are sugared marshallow and they actually are really nice ... not cheap quality & easy to chew) ... Well, i was the HIT of the playgroup xmas party today as Mum's from everywhere asked me how i'd made them. Even a Home Ec teacher complimented on them ... I lined the slice tray with red cellophane, it truely looked FANTASTIC !!!
You get a chocolate royale (the dome biscuits with the marshmallow inside) and you drizzle white choccy on top to look like custard then you drop a jaffa on top and cut up some lolly mint leaves and stick them on as holly leaves. EASY. And the toddlers love to help, and everyone thinks they are soooo cute and yummy!
