3 Quick and Easy Festive Treats

Have you friends coming over for a Christmas movie marathon? Or is it cold and wet outside and you've nothing planned for the day? Well fear not, I've got you covered with this blogpost ;) Here's 3 quick and easy festive treats that you can whip up in minutes and they taste as good as they look, trust me!

Treat No.1- Melted Snowmen Delights

You will need: Large Marshmallows, Black Icing, Icing Sugar, Orange Icing and Plain Digestive Biscuits.

1. Take your icing sugar and mix with desired amount of water adding the water slowly and mixing well in between. 

2. Smear icing on the digestive biscuits to make a 'blob' shape. This creates the melted snowman.

3. Place large marshmallows on top while the icing is still wet. Then repeat as many times as you like to make several snowmen. 

4. Place in freezer for 10-15 minutes until the icing is hard. 

5. Using the black icing, create eyes and a mouth on the marshmallow followed by 4 buttons and arms on the 'blob' of icing on the biscuit. 

6. TASTE TEST!! 

Treat No. 2- Festive Hot Chocolate

You will need: Milk, Cadbury's Hot Chocolate Powder, Squirty Cream, Candy Cane, Red Licorice and Gold Sprinkles to decorate.

1. Pour the desired amount of milk into a mug of your choice and place in microwave to heat for 2-3 minutes or until hot.

2. Take out of the microwave and be careful not to burn yourself! Add Cadbury's Hot Chocolate to taste, I use around 3 heaped spoons (I like mine extra chocolaty!)

3. Swirl a generous amount of cream to the top of your hot chocolate

4. Decorate with some gold sprinkles, a stick of red licorice and a candy cane to make it that little bit more festive! The perfect treat for a chat amongst friends!!

Treat No. 3- Reindeer Bites

You will need: Large Marshmallows, Bar of Chocolate to Melt, Pretzels, Red M&M's and White and Black Icing.

1. Break the chocolate into squares and put them in a microwave safe bowl. Then place the chocolate in the microwave until melted. 
*Be careful not to overheat the chocolate or it will burn.

2. When the chocolate is melted, stick the marshmallows on cocktail sticks and dip them in, to cover completely in chocolate. Tap the stick gently on the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.

3. Continue to cover as many marshmallows in chocolate as you wish, but work quickly so the chocolate doesn't re-harden. 

4. Cut a large orange in half and stick the cocktail sticks with the marshmallows, into the orange. Then place in freezer for 20 minutes for the chocolate to harden.

5. Cut the pretzels in half to make antlers. 

6. Once you take them out of the freezer stick the pretzel antlers on the top of the marshmallows using the black icing. Also, using the black icing, stick a red M&M's to the front of each marshmallow to make the red nose.

7. Finally,, using the white icing, give your reindeer eyes, then place back into the fridge for the icing to harden.
