    I also bulk buy chocolate chips (cheaper that way!) and I just put in a handful to my usual recipes (muffins, cookies, cakes, scotch pancakes, waffles and even muesli when I'm feeling very extravagent :)). I'm going to have to hide them when the dreaded summer diet starts! I believe that you can freeze butter icing to use later so you could make up some chocolate butter icing.

    Somewhere I have a recipe for a "dotty chocolate chip cake" I will have to find it for posting on the recipe index.

    Before doing a massive batch of baking, I would do a small tester of say Nigella's Cup cakes with melted choc on top to see how well they actually freeze. Extreme temps have an effect on choc which is why you shouldn't put choc in the fridge. However, it maybe that your catering choc has an added ingredient which would make it okay to freeze. I am a Chocoholic rep and I have a friend who has a Chocolate Fountain, if she has an event at a fair, she quite often gives me left over choc, I just keep it in a bowl covered with clingfilm and take chunks whenever I am cake making.

    This is interesting. Would your catering friend know the difference do you think? And could they explain it for us in easy bite sized chunks? :)

    Hi, I also work for a chocolate fountain company! - hence the 2 kilos of choc!!!!
    Chocolate fountain is a humoungous bowl of melted chocolate which has a fountain set into the middle of it, the chocolate is sucked up a hollow pipe by a motor and then spills over metal tiers back into the bowl - just like a water fountain!
    Thanks for all the recipe ideas, am going to have a biiiigg cooking session this evening! :D
    I've made my debts bite-size too depressing to look at all at once so am handling them one at a time - first up Graduate Loan £1720 paid off! only £280 to go!!!
