Just subbing to this thread. Love the ideas. I have made a no bake choc slab with crushed maltesers in it which tasted delish.
This would be great as teachers gifts, add ons for friends gifts etc.

Guess I'll be hunting for shaped ice trays in the sale.

Ikea do them and are cheap all yr round I used the heart & triangle shaped ones but think they do lots of others too

thanks quackers,they are in the fridge now

will take pics when ive "popped" them out

Woolworths had round silicone baking thingys for £3 today.

They were putting out their sale stuff today.

And muffin silicone thingys for £3 too.

The muffin ones would be good for 'coin' sized choccy things.

:rolleyes: doh ! i never thought of looking in woolies for them :rolleyes:

Just to add that I made christmas hampers today for teacher gifts & in it was a hot chocolate/marshmallow combo. I put the mallows in a cellophane bags which I have for cards. Tall slim ones would be great with these shaped chocolates in.
Just an idea. You can pick them up on ebay, craft shops & even cake suppliers no doubt.

ok here are my pics http://aol.photobox.co.uk/album/7293703 some are a little bit erm .......... rustic looking and will need a bit of trimming before being wrapped

the nut ones look and taste fab !
but as you can see from the mess on the chopping board,a lot of the nuts fell off during the popping process ! :rotfl:

my son is chuffed with his marbled slab for his teacher its really thick !
melted choc writing would have been nicer, but i had some writing icing here so just used that

we just used milk & white choc with no additions ,but i am sooooooooooo going to make some nutty / cranberry / malteser / peanut M&Ms versions at the wkend ! yum !

hubby & kids have [STRIKE]asked[/STRIKE] told me i have to make them some of the little ones too !

The chocolate from lidl is good to melt and is only 24p for 100g
If you use a round silicone tray you can make it into a pizza with grated white chocolate on the top for cheese.
I seen this at a craft show i went to and it was £11 for a 7 or 8" one
