From Arnotts: http://www.arnotts.com

These biscuits are great for children’s birthday parties. Kids love to help decorate the biscuits.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups icing sugar
• 2 tbsp boiling water
• 1 x 250g packet Arnott’s Milk Arrowroot or Marie biscuits
• different coloured writing icing tubes

For Funny Faces:

• Assorted lollies to make faces e.g. mini allsorts, jelly beans, snakes, jubes, licorice strips, smarties
• For Fancy Flowers:
• 1 x 250g packet marshmallows or mini marshmallows

Method:

1. Sift icing sugar into a bowl and then pour in boiling water and mix together until smooth. Let cool slightly.
2. Spread approximately 1 tsp icing over each biscuit with the back of a spoon.
3. This is a great time to get the kids involved.
4. To make faces: While icing is a little soft create your own funny faces by decorating each biscuit using lollies and the icing tubes.
5. To make flowers: Cut marshmallows in half with scissors. While icing is soft arrange in petal fashion on top of the iced biscuit to form flowers. Place a dot of icing to form the flower centre or alternatively you could also use a marshmallow or smartie.
