🌟 CHOCOLATE SANTA CLAUS RECYCLING 🌟

After St. Nicholas Day, there are often lots of chocolate Santa Clauses left over as they are generously given away.

The creative youth of FC Puch have now thought of 3 ideas on how to use these sweet surpluses in other, enjoyable ways.

📋 PREPARATION: Simply melt the leftover chocolate over a bain-marie, add a little butter or whipped cream if required (and depending on the chocolate) so that the chocolate becomes liquid - and the mixture is ready!

1️⃣ Chocolate crossies
Simply mix the cornflakes with the chocolate, place on baking paper and put in the fridge

2️⃣ Drinking chocolate as a gift
Pour the chocolate into small glasses or glasses, mix with a little cardamom, cinnamon and bourbon vanilla sugar as required. Stick a fork in and put in the fridge! As soon as they are cold, remove them from the plastic jars with warm water, decorate with sprinkles or marshmallows, wrap - DONE!

3️⃣ Chocolate pralines
Simply pour the chocolate into the ice cube molds, wrap in cellophane and give as a gift

We need:
✔️ Crunchy Nuts or Cornflake
✔️ Ice cube molds depending on your preference
✔️ Plastic forks, cellophane, gift ribbons, tamper cups, sprinkles or marshmallows
