Chocolate

Mmmmmmm we all love chocolate and the best time to enjoy it is the Easter holiday. A holiday hell bent on loading your hips with chocolate delights. Easter eggs are the order of the day, so get the big and little kids involved in the chocolate holiday.


Little Kids
All kiddies love chocolate especially an Easter Egg. Instead of simply buying and delivering one why not get involved for an hour and help a kiddie decorate one. Its fun, shows off your artistic flair (or not in my case) and wiles away a fun-filled hour with a little one.

Buy an Easter Egg, then buy some candy and jelly sweeties. Make a small batch of icing sugar and pipe little bits on your egg and fix on your sweeties. You can make lots of designs and patterns from lions faces to flowers, or simply just stick em on lol. Pipe on a name and your done :)


Big Kiddies
