I stumbled upon this idea tutorial for a Christmas Sleigh gift and thought it would make the most fabulous place settings for the Christmas dinner table.
Well who doesn’t love chocolate? Not many that's for sure.
****UPDATE****
The tutorial video can now be viewed on either my YouTube page here https://youtu.be/7QrUrqJPmPM
or on a more recent page of my blog here http://www.jakheath.com/2020/12/make-your-own-chocolate-santa-sleigh.html
The idea for the place setting only came when I gave my daughter a peek at what I was making for Jack and she cried “I want one too Mam” so what was once to be only two or three soon became eight that I needed.
I ran out of bits for my place setting so I still have 1 left to complete but I was itching to show you all.
Aren’t they sweet? (pardon the pun) I even found some little chocolate Santa’s to drive the sleigh.
As you can see we have candy canes, KitKat, miniature Cadbury chocolate, Kinder bars, chocolate coins and in the adult ones Dime Bars. I tied it all together with ribbon from Ribbon Carousel
Come on get out those glue guns and set to work on a treat to remember at the Christmas dinner table.

Hi Jak,
Thanks for showing these. I had seen them before and forgot about them. I think these are even more fun with Santa driving the sleigh.
Cool Cool Cool. The children will love these. Thanks Jak.

Brilliant Jak.... straight out to the shops for goodies to make these with my granddaughter. Had such fun when she came home making up 8 so far... 2 for her teachers at school (she's 7) and some for on the Christmas dinner table for my daughters and their children. Thanks for the inspiration. Sue x

Love the sleighs Jak.
Thank you Jak for the link these are great treats for the grandies.
Love these Jak and will Bookmark your post to fix for Christmas. All five of the children will love them. They could be a great holder for money gifts too.
Love love love!! Will be making these this year instead of the usual selection pack!

Love these! Will be making them instead of buying the usual selection boxes!
What candies did you use? They aren't the mini Hershey bars typically used. I like the Chocolate Santa sleigh better.
