Chocolate lollies

So I bought some moulds and I thought I'd share the result with you and the finished result will go towards my party bag fillers.

Being an ebay fan, i bought everything from there - the mould (which came free with lollypop sticks) and lollypop bags. All for a couple of quid and obviously the mould can be used over and over.

My little helper here, puts the lolly sticks in the moulds firstly,  then the melted chocolate gets added - no need to grease or oil  the mould first.

(I used Cadburys, in the microwave, 30 seconds first, then every 10 seconds stirring in between - i find this way is the best way to melt chocolate without burning and ruining it!)

When you pour the chocolate in the moulds have a little check at the front of the mould that there aren't any bubbles and if there are, give a little poke with a cocktail stick (or in my case a pointed knife)

Pop them in the fridge and........

These ''lollipop bags'' were bought on ebay for about £2.00 for 50! - thats alot of lollies!  tied with a bit of ribbon (left over from my Christmas wrapping) and here's the finished product..........

A Great little addition to my party bags, my daughter was very impressed with how these turned out, and i know the mould will get used over and over.

thanks for looking - if there's anything you could change or other ideas, please let me know.

Girls Birthday Party Bag

So its my little ones 4th birthday coming up and I have a few little ideas to make it that little bit different and special but also cheap.

So I'd like to share my 'party bags' from her 3rd birthday last year, these were a big hit with the all children!

With my daughter being a peppa pig fan, we went with this theme. The boys of the party had blue bags and 'George' pig.

contents are:

chocolates & sweets - I bought a few packs of the big 

haribo and shared them out in these 'cone' shaped bags

 and tied with ribbon (I had a few left over and gave them to

some of the adults who were equally pleased to receive one!)                                                                

                                                          

• paints - this little paint set cost pence and with my computer I took the peppa pig logo, put ''paints'' underneath it, and printed some out, then just seloptaped them around the middle.  
            
            
            
                                                           
     
• colouring pencils - again, with my computer, I took the peppa pig logo, added on a little ''thank you for coming to my birthday'' message and printed these out and replaced the actual ''colouring pencils'' card with my print out.

                                                                                                    

• colouring pages - free colouring pages from the internet, printed out - I put 4 pictures per A4 sheet of paper and cut them up, put them in a little bag, again with a peppa pig logo printout.
 
         
                                                                                                          

• And then just classic party bag bits - bubbles (with peppa pig logo & message stuck around the middle) bouncy ball, whoopi cushion, necklace set, diary.

I hope you've enjoyed looking at my party bag, and would welcome any ideas or ways you can change things, keep posted because i will be adding more ideas on childrens parties, thanks for looking.
