Reindeer mini rolls Melt white chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water). Dip one end of a Chosen by you chocolate mini roll in the melted chocolate. On a lined baking tray, stand the roll so the dipped end is pointing up, then put a Smartie on top, for a nose. Make eyes and a
mouth from white and black icing and add to the face. Leave to set. Melt milk chocolate as before. Dip pieces of broken pretzel in, then stick into the cake to make antlers. Repeat, then dip the ends of halved chocolate matchsticks in the chocolate and push in the roll for legs.

PAPER TASSEL GARLAND
Anyone old enough to use scissors can make these paper garlands. It’s fun and easy to do, so get everyone to help and you’ll soon have enough to deck the hall, the tree and their rooms! YOU NEED Rolls of Asda coloured gift wrap and ribbon Scissors 100 | ASDA.COM/MAGAZINE | DECEMBER 2014
TO MAKE 1 Cut 25cm strips of the full length of the gift wrap (50cm), then cut each strip into 4 pieces to get strips 25cm long x 171/2 cm wide. 2 Fold the paper in half along the shorter side. Most Asda gift wrap has cutting lines on the back – fold with these on the outside. 3 Cut along all the cutting lines from the bottom edges up towards the fold, leaving the top 21/2 squares uncut.
If you don’t have grid lines, make cuts about 1cm apart, leaving about 21/2 cm uncut along the fold edge. 4 Unfold the paper and lay it coloured-side down so the middle section runs vertically. Roll the paper up along this section and you’ll have a tassel either side. 5 Fold the uncut middle section in half over a long length of ribbon. Tie short pieces of ribbon at the top of each tassel to secure.
