    Have only seen silver coins that are white chocolate - which she doesn't like. Has anyone seen any silver sweets about?

    You may have already found what you need but I noticed that the co-op have silver coins and I think they were milk choc, not white.

    Depends on how you wrap them and how big your pots are, I used the length to make them look ok and only actually used about 6-8 inches of cellophane for each pot, I had 5 metres so loads left and mine look ok. I made 5 alltogether!

  • I've just found this thread from a link on another site. I love this idea and the pots that people have already made look so good.

    Thanks for sharing, it's given me something to do for a couple of people I have been stuck for gifts for. I've never checked out the forums on here before but i'm glad I have now!

    Not posted here before but have been following thread and getting lots of great ideas thank you. Tesco had ferrero rocher half price yesterday £3.50 for 30 which looked good deal to me- so bought 2 boxes.
    A friend and her little boy came over this morning- and all went quiet so went to check on him and my dd2, they had found the chocs and eaten over half a box!!!!
