Marshmallow Chocolate Bites: Christmas recipe for kids
Get ready for a chocolatey adventure with these delightful Chocolate-Covered Marshmallow Bites! Here’s the magic recipe:
Ingredients:
- 340gms semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 bag marshmallows
Method:
Melt Chocolate for Dip: In a mason jar, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Pop it into the microwave for 30-second bursts, stirring in between until the chocolate is perfectly melted. Watch out for that magical moment when it turns into a smooth, luscious pool of goodness.

Stand the marshmallow upright with the skewer fitting between fork spikes. With a graceful pull, free the marshmallow from its chocolatey hold. Now, the grand marshmallow procession! Use the skewer to carefully transfer the marshmallow onto a baking sheet, lined and prepared for this sweet spectacle.

Fruit Santa Face Lollypops: Christmas Recipes for Kids
Creating Santa face lollipops with strawberries and bananas is a festive and healthy way to celebrate the holiday season. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making these jolly treats:
Ingredients:
- Strawberries
- Bananas
- Mini chocolate chips or raisins
- Cotton Candy (Preferred in white)/ Twisted Noodle Shape Marshmallows
- Lollipop sticks
Method:
Prepare Santa’s Face: Slice the bananas into 1/2-inch. These will serve as the base for Santa’s face.
Cut Out Santa’s Hat: Using a knife or a small cookie cutter, cut out a triangle shape from the strawberries. This will be Santa’s hat. Place the strawberries hat on top of each banana piece.
Create Santa’s Beard: Arrange cotton candy in a semi-circle shape along the bottom edge of the Banana slice to form Santa’s fluffy beard. You can stick with little honey. In case you don’t find white cotton candy you can replace it with marshmallows in twisted noodle shape.
Add Eyes: Place two mini chocolate chips or raisins on the banana slice to create Santa’s eyes. You can use a bit of honey or edible glue or press them in the banana to help them stick.
Finish with a Smile: If you’d like, cut a very small thin slice of apple to form Santa’s mouth or smile. Arrange it just above the cotton candy beard to complete the facial features.
Insert Lollipop Stick: Carefully insert a lollipop stick into the bottom of the banana slice, making sure it goes through the strawberries hat and holds the entire Santa face securely.
Serve Fresh or Freeze: You can enjoy your fruit lollipops immediately or freeze them for a refreshing, icy treat. If freezing, place them on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid.
Santa Claus Cookies: Christmas recipe for kids
Creating Santa Claus cookies is a delightful way to add a festive touch to your holiday celebrations. Here’s a simple recipe to help bring the magic of Santa to your cookie platter:
Ingredients:
- Oval shape sandwich biscuits/ plain biscuits (of your choice)
- Red jellies
- Mini chocolate chips
- White chocolate chips/ White melting chocolate
- Optional Shredded coconut (for snowy effect)
- Optional M&M’s chocolates (for Santa’s Nose)
Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white melting chocolate or white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Dip one side of the sandwich biscuit with the cream filling into the melted white chocolate to create Santa’s white hair. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, and place the biscuits on a parchment-lined tray.
Add Red Jelly Trim: While the white chocolate is still soft, place a red jelly candy or jelly in the centre of the hat to represent the trim and hat of the Santa. Gently press it into the chocolate. If you don’t have red jellies, you can use small red candies. You can see the white hair below the red hat!
Santa’s Beard: Once the white chocolate has settled on one side (tip of the biscuit) dip the other side till half the biscuit is covered with the chocolate to get that bearded look for Santa Claus.
Santa’s Eyes: Place two mini chocolate chips on the biscuit to create Santa’s eyes. Use a small amount of melted chocolate if needed to secure the chocolate chips.
Let It Set: Allow the biscuits to set until the white chocolate hardens and all decorations are secured in place
Optional: For Santa’s nose you can use either red jelly or M&M’s chocolate in red color. For a snowy effect, sprinkle shredded coconut around Santa’s face or on the hat.
Serve and Enjoy: Your delightful Santa Claus biscuits are ready to be enjoyed! Arrange them on a festive plate and share the holiday cheer.
