They tasted like the chocolate they were....ok. Sainsburys basics milk choc. 31p a bar.
Think if I jazz a block up with other sweets it will taste fine. boys loved it!

Thats the main thing. I made dark chocolates, and filled them with ganache they were so yummy.

Yummm more chocolate. Your hearts look so neat with the drizzle on them.

Here is something I have been making another Regatta picture, painted and with hand/machine embroidery.
I've put more pictures on my blog.

The silicone moulds you use, make sure they are really shiny and your chocolates will be shiny as long as its tempered correctly.

I've actually kept the one in the tutu for myself coz i love her. but done a couple more with tutus on and they are so easy to do. i just knotted strips of netting onto a ring of elastic, and so effective!
