S.H.
Mix it all together and shape into balls. Using reasonable ratios.
Crush some of the ingredients like the crackers and chocolate or make it into bite sized chunks. Just whack it with a hammer.
Put on foiled lined cookie sheet.
Bake at 350, until sort of melted (but not completely), but enough so that it all melds/melts together.
Use the ginger, for some of them. Most kids, don't like ginger tasting things. Keep those for adults.
But I would omit the flour. And baking soda. And the baking powder. And the cake mix. You also don't need the eggs for this.
Also, use either, orange or peppermint flavoring extracts. Not both at the same time.
You can use the hot chocolate, to "dust" the finished balls after it comes out of the oven and has cooled.
Don't use too much brown sugar in the mixture... or it will caramelize too much or burn. Getting hard. Making the mixture hard as rock.
Use, EITHER margarine or butter. I would use the butter.
You can use the eggs/flour/sugar/butter and either orange or peppermint flavoring... to make crepes.
Using the sugar both in the crepe batter and after to dust the crepes with.
Crepes are easy. Many recipes online. Even my 9 year old daughter can make that.
The way to eat it, is to fold it after.
