Brownies for Gift Gatherers
Ingredients:
Lidl’s brownie mix
Candy canes
Icing and sprinkles.
Method:
Prepare the brownie mix and cook in the oven. Once it’s ready, take it out and let it cool.
Cut the brownies into Christmas tree-shaped triangles.
Insert a candy cane for the trunk and decorate with icing and sprinkles.
Tree Decorations for Over Decorators
Ingredients:
Flour
Salt
Ribbon
Method:
Make a dough using flour, salt and warm water.
Once you've kneaded it all together and rolled it out, use some festive cookie cutters to make your shapes – make sure you don't forget to make a small hole for the ribbon.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes and let them cool.
Thread a ribbon through the hole and hang them on the tree.
Cheese Snowman for Cheeseboard Champion
Ingredients:
Camembert
Stilton
Crackers
Chutney
Black olives
Carrot
Red chilli
Rosemary
Method:
Use a camembert wheel for the snowman’s head and slice up stilton to make the snowman's body.
Make a cracker hat for the snowman, by adding cheese and chutney to a rectangle cracker.
For his face, chop an olive in half for each of his eyes, use a carrot for the nose and a red chilli for his mouth.
Use grapes to dress the snowman in a scarf and buttons, and rosemary for the arms.
