Hot chocolate reindeer cone image

Help younger kids make these simple hot chocolate reindeer cone stocking fillers to give as gifts for family or friends. To serve, simply tip the contents into a mug and add hot water or milk

Provided by Cate Dixon

Time 10m

Yield Makes 1 hot chocolate cone (serves 4)

Number Of Ingredients 6

35g salted caramel or regular instant hot chocolate powder
20g milk chocolate chips
30g fudge chunks
20g mini marshmallows (ensure vegetarian, if needed)
1 candy cane
40cm square of baking parchment, 1 brown pipe cleaner, 2 stick-on eyes, 1 stick-on red nose and ribbon

Steps:

  • Fold the parchment in half diagonally, then in half again and in half once more so it forms a cone shape. Staple the inside of the cone together at the two top corners to attach the layers so you have a sealed cone that's open at the top.
  • Stand the parchment cone upright in a long, tall glass so the opening is at the top. Fill the cone with the hot chocolate powder, the chocolate chips, fudge pieces and marshmallows. Twist the top closed and secure with the brown pipe cleaner, then twist the pipe cleaner into two antlers. Fix two eyes and a red nose onto the front of the cone and tie a candy cane stirrer on top with ribbon.
  • To serve, snip 3cm off the base of the cone and tip the contents into a large heatproof jug. Top up with 800ml boiling water and stir with the candy cane until the hot chocolate has dissolved and the chocolate chips and fudge pieces have melted. Divide between four mugs.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips are good choices.
  • Don't overcook the fudge. It should be cooked until it reaches a temperature of 235 degrees Fahrenheit (113 degrees Celsius). If you overcook it, it will be too thick and crumbly.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it into pieces. This will help it to set properly.
  • To make the reindeer shapes, you can use a cookie cutter or a sharp knife. If you're using a cookie cutter, make sure it's small enough to fit on the fudge pieces.
  • To decorate the reindeer, you can use melted chocolate, sprinkles, or candy eyes. Get creative and have fun!

Conclusion:

Candy bar fudge reindeer are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holidays. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So get creative and have fun!
