1 level tsp ground ginger

1 level tsp ground cinnamon

175g butter, cut into cubes

100g golden syrup

24 Fox's Glacier Fruits

Method

1
This recipe is part of our cooking with kids feature and has instructions for children.
2
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Line 3 baking trays with baking paper. Sift the flour, ginger and cinnamon into a bowl.
3
Rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips until it looks like breadcrumbs.
4
Add the golden syrup and mix with a knife until big lumps form. Using your hand, finish mixing to make a dough. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
5
Lightly flour a work surface and a rolling pin, then roll out the dough to about 3-4mm thick. Cut out large stars and rounds with cutters. Use your smallest cutters to cut a hole in the middle of each biscuit.
6
Gather up any leftover dough, then roll out and cut out again. Put the biscuits onto a baking tray using a fish slice to support them. Use a skewer to make a small hole in each if you want to hang them.
7
Put the sweets in a freezer bag and bash with a rolling pin to break them into smaller pieces. You may need to get an adult to help as they're hard to break.
8
Put the broken sweets in the biscuit holes. bake them in the oven for about 15 minutes or until they start to brown and the sweets have melted.
9
Cool on the baking trays for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack to finish cooling.
