Charlie here!
We received a super special package from Mrs C's friend in America! It had lots of chocolate and some Peeps in it. We had never seen Peeps before. They are marshmallows covered in sugar. Tiddy thought they would make a nice hot chocolate treat.




The twins wanted to help, so I showed them how to mix whipping cream and sugar till it was very thick. it took ages, and they made a terrible mess!








Here is Tiddy with the Cadbury's drinking chocolate, the whipped cream, a box of Peeps in the shape of chicks, and 2 nice cups. Tiddy had an extra big smile on his face, as he loves to make things with chocolate. 






I made some hot chocolate, but didn't fill the cups too much. Can you see the Peeps chicks? They looked like twins, just like Ted and Ed.


Then, Ted carefully spooned the cream on top of the hot chocolate. Next, it was Ed's turn to pop the Peeps on the cream.


Here we all are, ready to enjoy our special hot chocolate drinks. The chicks look like they were swimming in the cream! 


We enjoyed our hot chocolate with a bit of an American flavour. A big THANK YOU to Mrs C's special American friend. She made us very happy :o)

  2. It took the twins AGES to get the cream to thicken up! I think the sugar in it helped it to float so easily :o) Glad our cooking has inspired you to try Peeps as marshmallows. Tiddy x
