Making Sweets for Children
It’s our pre-school Christmas Bazaar tomorrow and I was thinking of making some little sweets to sell to raise more funds for the preschool. I remember making chocolate truffles for my Grandad when I was a teenager, and decorating used tea tea boxes to put them in for Christmas and birthdays! My Grandad kept the boxes for years afterwards, which showed how much he appreciated his lovingly made home made treats. I might try making some sweeties for preschool today and if they’re a success, perhaps give some out as Christmas presents this year too. It’s a very eco friendly green present as you can recycle old food boxes and cover with pretty paper or gingham fabric and ribbons etc. I think people really appreciate these kinds of home made gifts.
Nothing much in my cookbooks so I’ve searched google and found lots of interesting recipes:
There’s a very long list of sweets on About.com
There are some easy recipes for kids to make themselves on Mumsnet
Sugarboy.co.uk has some sweet recipes
Raspberry Jam Drops look good as do Chocolate Raisin Clusters
