    I have some of those little
    cake cases the tiny ones
    for peti fours,chocs etc
    they had gold ones in Asda
    hanging up on the bakery
    aisle.

    Somerfield are doing the 100g Green
    & Blacks chocolate bars for a £1
    each all different flavours,I am going
    to melt a white choc one and fill the
    cases with it,i went to a cake decorating
    shop and bought edible glittery gold
    dust to brush on the top.I have an eye
    shadow brush thats never been used
    that i am going to use,had a little dabble
    as it was £1.50 a tub and its only small.
    but its going to go a long way as i used
    very little when I brushed some on some
    muffins i made.

    Hi all, love the pots of Gold not finished mine yet will post pics when done. I any of you have a local shop called one stop they have 3 boxes of Ferrero Rocher for £5 at the moment not a bad price if your using them in your pots of Gold, trouble is they are one of my favourite choccies so not sure how many will make it to my pots....lol Anyway hope this helps someone.

    just as a dummy run so far but
    through out the year we have
    managed to get the GU desserts
    in the reduced section in Tesco
    and Asda usually 99p or less.
    These are a box of two little
    chocolate desserts set in glass
    bowls usualy £1.99 or more for two.

    just covered the outside with a gold
    doily.Filled with the Tesco choc bars
    5 for 89p,coins Tesco B 1 G 1 Free
    49p,raided the roses & quality street
    tins and took out the gold chocs.

    I am going to use gold ribbon and
    have yet to add the verses to them

    also just a heads up on the scratch
    cards for these there is one available
    called 777,not a massive major prize
    but lots of oppertunities to win smaller
    prizes such as £7,17,£27 etc,£77,£777 etc
    I got mine at a national lottery counter
    we have one in the Belvale shopping centre
    liverpool.Worth looking out for as you have
    more chance of getting some lucky wins
    amongst the people you give them to.

    I love, love, love each and everyone of these pots of gold on here. Decided to make one for OH. Would like to make them for friends too but OH will see them if I do and it will less of a surprise when he gets his...decisions, decisions. Off to Tesco later to pick up some bits. Will post a pic when I'm done.

    I'm nipping up to Ikea tonight (alone :D ) to pick up some gold pots for my pots of gold to give to my sons teachers. When I did a pot of gold for my Dad I used a large pasta bowl but it cost me a fortune in gold coins so the little ikea pots with be ideal and very MSE.
    I really need to get organised this week:eek:
