    You could blitz it into crumbs and add some melted chocolate to make some Christmassy truffles, or break it into chunks and mix it into vanilla ice cream. I love that, and it goes back into the freezer to have a little taste of Christmas throughout the year. :)

    Make Cake pops. If you google that you will see what I mean, they are delish. :)

    I agree, keep feeding it with something at 40% and it will just get better with time...

    it will keep for months or even years.

    put it in a tin and forget it, find it a year and a half later, sniff and then eat - at least that's what we did one year

    I've still got some of last years left and it's absolutely fine. Don't see what the great rush to use it up is all about :undecided
