15. Chocolate Fondue
We mean, what could be a more perfect elf breakfast idea that molten chocolate heaven?! And this mini fondue set from Oh So Cherished doubles up as a new gift too!
16. Oatmeal M&M Cookies
Yum! Not your normal morning oatmeal 😉 Chewy crunchy goodness with Christmas speckled touches!
17. Christmas Chocolate Biscuit Cups
Take advantage of all the extra chocolates around and melt a few into the middle of your biscuit cups. Soooo yummy!

Who says you can’t have dessert (dip) for breakfast?! And after all, Maltesers are a mainstay of British Christmas cupboards, aren’t they?!
