edible bonfire; a step-by-step guide

happy bonfire night...yesterday.




rip up a bag of marshmallows and break up a pack of biscuits.






talk to the children about what happens when we add heat to a large bar of chocolate, they won't actually listen to you as they are consumed by the task of ripping the marshmallows and breaking up the biscuits.






mix the melted chocolate with the marshmallows and biscuits, ensuring all hands are in laps as the chocolate is hot. allow to cool for a few hours.







be a tricksy teacher and cut up the hardened goo, add some tissue paper flames and viola! you have a chocolate bonfire!








warm your hands on the flames.








or just start eating.







once the sugar is coursing through your system, dance the afternoon away to cbeebies karaoke.
