    hobbycraft have heart shaped lolly moulds but you don't need to add the sticks unless you want to
    just melt the chocolate, put in mould , take out and voila heart shaped chocolates and a mould you can use again and again
    they've also got those silicone muffin moulds you know the rubbery ones
    they're individual heart shaped

    I know sainsburys do a red silicone heart mould (ice tray) for 99p, I bought one last year and made chocolates for mother's day. It was great and they loved them has a put nuts and fruit in the middle of the chocolate's.

  • Hey guys...and girls..

    I am new to this so please forgive me for a) being boring b) posting in the wrong place c) interrupting the smooth flow of convo etc etc ...

    I am a lawyer who has turned her back on the law in search of the easy self employed life....I have been trading part time for the past few years and now want to do it full time so I am afforded a little more flxibility and no longer have to report to 'the-man'...

    I am desperately seeking a provider (either UK or international) of sweets.....it may sound a little silly but I want to send a little surprise with all my deliveries. As I send out about 500 items a week I would obviously be looking to purchase relatively lareg quantities and obviously at the cheapest price.

    Any of you fine and dandy peeps have any tips?

    I wouls have thought an account at a wholessalers
    like Booker foods where they have a good selection of
    sweets and as often as not special offers on multi buys
    or a Costco account.They sell small
    individualy wrapped items that would fit the bill or if
    spotted keep a look out for large multi packs on offer
    in supermarkets & shops.
