Elf name Christmas biscuits recipe – by Sarah Dando These would be great with any kind of Christmas candy, but the mix-ins we chose, specifically, include: Candy-coated chocolate candies (M&M’s), chocolate dinner mints (creme de menthe mints), white chocolate peppermint bark, and Christmas SPRINKLES! Here are some other mix-in ideas that even Buddy from the movie Elf would approve of: the other Elf’s get up to lots of cheeky mischief, we have the original 2 plush ones, boy and girl, baby one I bought in homebargins when I had my youngest. Now she has her own girl one, again from home bargains, we have a blue Alzheimer one I found in a charity shop and a new cute one I bought a few weeks ago in a charity shop. We also have a giant home bargains one. AND a collection of the Lidl ones, so a fair few 🤣 The Lidl ones are not involved in the main mischief, though occasionally get dragged in.

Little hands in the kitchen are always welcome in our house. From cooking to cleaning, I like to have the company and to teach my daughter how to prepare food and how to keep a kitchen. There are many things kids can learn from a kitchen that you wouldn’t think of. Like reading, math and organization, just to name a few. Step 4. Get your hands in and knead the mixture together to form a dough. You can put it in the fridge for a while, but it’s fine to use straight away too.Step 2. Place the flour, butter and sugar in a bowl.

I’d recommend getting some ziploc bags and putting any accessories you need into them now, making a list and setting an alarm on your phone to remember. The joy wears very thin when you’ve woken with a start at 4am and you’re stumbling about in the dark with the bloody elf! And finding a fun recipe for a holiday or event can bring even more joy to the cooking experience. Like this week’s recipe. Children will meetSquirrel Nutkin, Mr. Tod and even decorate elf biscuits with Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, before meeting Santa himself. Next, sprinkle the chopped pecans over everything and place in the oven to bake for 10-12 minutes or until they look bubbly.

I personally don’t like the Elf on A Shelf, I think he looks creepy, when my DDs were younger I got them the plush ones. Only last year did I allow one of the plastic faces Elf’s in my house. I did an Elf themed tree and hid not only Elf on the shelf in there but the Elf mates too. My DDs has already bought herself a new Elf she’s keeping with her 24/7.
