The mum’s first foodie hack made use of cookie cutters to make Christmas themed pancakes.

To start, she placed a variety of metal cookie cutters in a frying pan. You decide what shapes you want!

Then she filled each one with pancake mixture. Once done, she popped them on a plate and finished with a dusting of icing sugar.

She opted to add a nice splash of colour to the dish by adding cherries, but any fruit you prefer will do!

The second snack hack transformed plain-looking rum balls into cute Christmas puddings.

All you need are a few rum balls, lollies, and some melted white chocolate.

She started by melting the white chocolate and dripping it on top of the rum balls.

And before they cooled, she added red and green jellies on top for a bit of a Christmas touch.

Done! Now, they are ready to be served on a large round platter alongside the other festive snacks and dishes you have.

Mama Mila’s final foodie hack is all about everyone’s favourite Christmas character: Santa Claus!

To make mini Santa hats, she started by chopping the green tops off the strawberries. Then she placed them flat side down on a two-tiered high-tea platter.

She then grabbed some whipped cream and placed it on the top and around the bottom of each strawberry, making each piece of fruit look like a tiny Santa hat. So cute!

The three little snacks were very popular among her followers.

“Hmm, yum!! They are so easy to make too,” wrote one woman, while another said: “These all look delicious - I am definitely saving this!”


We are definitely going to try all of these little snack hacks! It seems so easy and looks delicious too. They are made even better by knowing they are something the grandkids or great-grandkids will love!
