no its coloured white chocolate but you have to add colouring at exactly 110 degrees or it goes really weird

sorry if changing subject but i thought id share my past couple days as have been searching for a Christmas fairy or angel to go on the top of the tree . had a good look around town with no success found one in pound land but didnt think very pretty so decided today to make one out of cardboard with glue and glitter and a bit of yellow wool for her hair very pleased now as it has not cost me a penny and my angel looks gorgeous have a great evening everyone;)

you could melt the chocolate then keep taking a teaspoon of choc out to test if the colouring takes, if you are overheated or under it goes really hard and is unusable.

if i didnt have a thermometer i would probably use icing or roll out icing, i use the choc as it goes really well with the biscuits

Hi, don't know if it will help you but I've used paper reusable Bday cups for my wash cloths cupcakes. Just cut it a little bit and used crafty scissors from my daughter to make a patern around - easy and how cheap lol
