    Reindeer Snack Bags

    Ingredients:

    • 50g popcorn
    • 2 handfuls pretzels
    • handful mixed dried fruit
    • large bag Maltesers (chocolate sweets)
    • 1 cherry tomato per bag

    Equipment: 

    • clear disposable piping bags or cone shaped cellophane bags
    • ribbon or string
    • brown, orange or red long pipe cleaners
    • extra large googly eyes (smaller ones would also work)
    • glue stick

    Method: 

    Pour the popcorn, pretzel, dried fruit and Maltesers into a large bowl. Stir with your hands or a wooden spoon until well mixed.

    Pop a cherry tomato into the bottom of one of the bags, pushing it down gently as far as it will go. If you don't like cherry tomatoes, you could use a large pink marshmallow or other red or pink sweet instead.

    Fill the rest of the bag to three quarters full with the snack mixture, then tie the bag up with the string or ribbon.

    Wrap a pipe cleaner around the bag for the antlers, then wrap the two loose ends around your finger to curl.

    Finish by gluing two googly eyes to the bag, then repeat until you have as many bags as you need.
