Ingredients:

• 2 packets of Mint Slices. Or the home brand equivalen.
• 1 packet of Jaffas
• 1 packet of Mint Leaves - cut in half.
• 1 packet of Mixed Cachous. (These are the little silver balls used for cake and cookie decorating.)
• 1 cup of chocolate chips - melted, this provides the glue to stick all the parts together.

Method:

1. To make this as simple and mess free as possible for the children, I have found that setting out the biscuits and the ingredients in an organised manner, makes it a bit easier for them.
2. Melt the choc chips in a small cup and use a paint brush to apply the chocolate to the mint slice. Then press the Jaffa lightly onto the melted chocolate to stick the nose to the biscuit.
3. Using the paint brush again, put two little blobs of melted chocolate on the biscuit and place the cachous on gently for eyes. It is better to place the eyes close to the nose with a narrow gap, as this leaves more room to stick on the mint leaf antlers.
4. Using the two halves of a mint leaf, paint the larger end of the leaf with chocolate and then stick it onto the mint slice.
5. Once the antlers are on, you have your finished product! A tip with the melted chocolate is to make sure that you re-melt it through out the process, so it is of a thin consistency. Younger children also need their brushes rinsed regularly to prevent excessive build up of chocolate.

Have fun!
