CHRISTMAS BISCUITS JAR

YOU WILL NEED

1 Make your own edible snow globe by filling the bottom of a large glass jar with caster sugar to look like snow. Flour would also work, but may stick to your biscuits.

2 Bake your own or buy readymade Christmas-themed iced biscuits and arrange them in the sugar to create a festive scene. Press down gently to make them stand but make sure you don’t snap them!

3 Using scissors, cut a star shape tag from glitter card and punch a small hole in the top. Tie to the jar lid with ribbon or twine. Give as a gift or use as a table centrepiece.
