Looking for a hilarious way to surprise (or trick!) your kids this holiday season? This clever idea for The Elf on the Shelf comes from Elf Mom Clare S., and it’s all about a funny holiday prank. In this scenario, your little Christmas companion has replaced the delicious Ferrero Rocher chocolates with…yuck, Brussels sprouts! Imagine the surprise on your kids’ faces when they discover this silly switch-up. This prank is sure to get plenty of giggles and maybe a few “Ew’s!”

How to Set Up The Elf on the Shelf Ferrero Rocher Prank

In this festive chocolate idea for The Elf on the Shelf, your Yuletide elf plays a classic trick by removing the chocolates from Ferrero Rocher wrappers and replacing them with green Brussels sprouts. The contrast between the luxurious gold-wrapped treat and the unsuspecting Brussels sprout inside makes this Elf prank a sure hit. Plus, it’s easy to stage and perfect for adding some lighthearted fun to your family elf’s antics.

A Fun Twist for Your Holiday Mischief-Maker

This prank offers a perfect mix of humor and creativity. While your little guy is busy setting the scene, the real surprise will come when your kids unwrap what they think is a delicious treat, only to find a healthy (and maybe unwanted) surprise. It’s a fun and easy way to bring some laughter to the holiday season and add a mischievous twist to your family elf’s regular routine!

Supplies Needed for Your Festive Scout’s Prank

• The Elf on the Shelf Doll
• Ferrero Rocher chocolates (unwrap and save the wrappers)
• Brussels sprouts (small enough to fit inside the wrappers)
• Scissors or knife (optional for adjusting the Brussels sprouts size)

Instructions for Staging This Elf on the Shelf Prank

1. Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Start by selecting small Brussels sprouts that will fit snugly into the Ferrero Rocher wrappers. If needed, use scissors or a knife to trim them down to size.
2. Unwrap the chocolates: Carefully unwrap the Ferrero Rocher chocolates, making sure not to damage the wrappers. Set the chocolates aside (for later enjoyment!).
3. Insert the Brussels sprouts: Replace the chocolates with the trimmed Brussels sprouts, wrapping them back up tightly in the Ferrero Rocher wrappers. Ensure that they look identical to the real thing!
4. Set the scene: Position your Christmas elf near the Ferrero Rocher box with a mischievous look (as if he’s been the culprit behind the chocolate switch). Scatter a few real chocolates (or opened wrappers) around to make it seem like your tiny scout got caught in the act!
5. Enjoy the reaction: Wait for the moment your kids discover the prank, unwrapping what they think is a sweet treat, only to find a Brussels sprout inside!

This fun and simple prank is a great way to add a bit of humor and surprise to your holiday season. Your Holiday mischief-maker will leave everyone in stitches with this unexpected chocolate swap!
