How to make edible sparklers

I love this time of year as there’s so much going on – Halloween, Bonfire Night, Remembrance Sunday and of course Christmas. We were out shopping yesterday and Toys R Us were playing Christmas music and John Lewis had their decorations up! I felt a little festive but it does seem to start earlier each year. Anyway, the children really enjoyed Halloween this year; they dressed up, insisted on our pumpkin being lit every evening for a week and especially loved seeing the local children knock on our door whilst they were out trick or treating.

I’m not sure if we’ll be going to go to a fireworks display yet. They all seem to start so late, despite the fact the clocks have gone back an hour and it’s dark so much earlier. Do I really want to keep the children up past their bedtime to watch fireworks? I think we may be on the look out for some fireworks we can set off in the garden instead.

Ingredients to make edible sparklers

I came across a really fun little craft for edible fireworks so thought we would have a go. All you need is breadsticks, chocolate spread and hundreds and thousands.

It’s so simple I feel silly writing it down but you take a breadstick, dip it into the chocolate spread, then dip into a container of hundreds and thousands!
