If you have a variety of chocolate, could you see if the school wanted to do a chocolate tombola as a one off event, or maybe when they have a cake stall or dress down day too? You could make it clear that you have sufficient chocolate!

In theory a great idea, but with all this health and safety, they tend not to have a 'home made' cake stall now when they have a fair, and dont allow kids to take 'junk food or chocolate bars' to school, so dot think they would want it:(

I know the most sensible thing would be to ask for not so much chocolate, we have tried subtly, but dont really want to offend, as they are very kind and generous people. I think they get it for free (or very very cheap) judging by the amount they get and give away to family and friends! Theres likely to be another wave of chocolate come easter time too!:o

maybe a WI might take some for baking with?

local hospice for raffles? (if bars were taken out of selection packs they might be able to be put into a hamper??)

Tray bakes/fridge cakes are great for using up chocolate

Why_oh_why

We have lots of chocolate as I had far too much left after making chocolate truffles. I plan to use the majority for pain au chocolat (which can apparently be frozen).

Local hospice is a great idea....and perhaps the children's ward of the local hospital?

What a nice problem to have :j

"with all this health and safety, they tend not to have a 'home made' cake stall" As a mum who's children have long left school I do find this quite shocking :eek: they used to be so grateful, and I felt so pressurised as a non baker

Can some not be used as pressies during the year??
