Advent Activity: Reindeer Droppings

Lambeth sent me this recipe a few years ago and, this year, we're going to try them:

A recipe for Christmas, the kiddos may be able to help. 

2 cups of sugar
1/2  cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup cocoa (powder)
2 cups quick oats amd 1 cup of desicctaed coconut 

US or UK cups will do, or even Lapland. 

Boil the sugar, milk, butter and cocoa together.  Remove from the heat and 
add in the oats and coconut.  When cool enough to handle let the kids mix 
together to form a homogeneous mass.    Then , with a table spoon, let them 
make their own 'sweets' with the mixture on some wax paper.  Let it set.    
To add texture put some chocolate raisins into a few. 


The name for this delicacy, chocolate reindeer droppings. 

Go wild, put it on your blog with acknowledgement to The Childrens Society 
of England.
