Home made Christmas Crackers.

I decide to make my own crackers this year for Christmas and when I saw the challenge over at Cuttlebug mania I knew that they would be perfect. The challenge is

 

'A Christmas project in any colour just not red and green' 

 

 

So here they are

 

 

I made individual Mocha Coffee test tubes to put into each one as the little gift

 

 

and up close.

 

 

 I really battled to get test tubes and ended up getting pill bottles instead. Unfortunately they where not big enough to put the pieces of chocolate into so I had to make a little plastic bag for that. I attached the bag to the bottle with crochet cotton.

 

The recipe is:

1st layer: 7ml hot chocolate

2nd Layer: 5ml coffee

3rd layer: 7ml non dairy creamer. I used Cremora 

Fill rest of test tube with pieces or drops of Dark chocolate.

 

On the back of the label I wrote:

Tip the contents into a mug. Add boiled water and stir. Enjoy.

 

I will also be entering this over at Simon says stamp blog work it Wednesday November where the challenge is to use dies.
