1 Egg
½tsp Vanilla Essence
12 Mini Marshmallows
24 Small Dark Chocolate Chips
12 Giant Chocolate Buttons
12 Halved Glace Cherries
5 Curly Wurly Bars
These are great fun for everyone to make. Children may need a hand cutting up the (marshmallow) eyes and also the ‘Curly Wurly’ Reindeer antlers, as these can be brittle and hard to make into consistent ‘antler’ shapes. They’re also almost irresistible, so you may need a few spare bars…
