Stained Glass Christmas Biscuits

I’ve always wanted to try making stained glass biscuits and the festive season seemed like the perfect opportunity to indulge my inner child. So drum roll please for these Stained Glass Christmas Biscuits! Granny used to have an array of recipes books which I remember flicking through as a child. In fact, I’m pretty sure she probably still has most of them. There is a few recipes in these books that always stick out in my mind; the Toadstool birthday cake, traffic light biscuits,  castles made with ice cream cones and of course, stained glass biscuits. I’d always wanted to try and make stained glass biscuits as a child but as I have no memory of actually making them I can only assume we never did. But now I’m the grown up and I get to choose what we make! It’s safe to say J was delighted with the idea of these and I’m pretty delighted myself with the results of these Stained Glass Christmas Biscuits myself. The recipe is simple and the process of making them is deceivingly so too; what appears to look like a little work of art is really quite straight forward. The hardest part was probably actually finding the sweeties for them. I originally went on the search for Fox’s Glacier Fruits but after trying around 4 different shops & failing to find them, it eventually struck me to try looking at the cheap sweeties in the supermarket. And as expected, Asda delivered with their very own Smartprice alternative. Although any other supermarket branded clear boiled fruit sweeties will do also!
