My Christmas Craft

I bought some containers for Christmas this past year (2012) hoping to make some goodies for the neighbors.  I bought 54 of them.  Now, you may ask: Why would anyone in their right mind buy 54 containers to fill with Christmas goodies?  The answer: I have no idea.

I obviously hadn't really thought that one through.  However, once I started baking, and it took me 3 hours to fill 2 containers, I knew I had to come up with a new idea....And I did.

Here it is:  The Snowball Fight Survival Kit



It ended up being a big hit, so I thought I'd show you how to make it!

Step one:  buy some lovely little plastic containers.  I got mine at Orson H. Gygi Company



Step two:  Fill the large containers with marshmallows,


Coconut,


And Hot Chocolate Mix.


Step three: Fill the small containers with licorice,


Chocolate Chips,


And a million dollar mint.


Step three:  Dip a plastic spoon in melted chocolate and wrap it up.


Step four: Put together two candy canes and a rectangular cookie in a small bag.


Step five:  Put the containers in a 2 lb. candy container.


Step six: Place the spoon, and small bag of goodies on top.


Step seven: Add a list of the Snowball Fight Survival Kit's contents.


And your done!! :)


I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!!
