Home made chocolate slabs

If anyone is looking for the silicone trays and stuff B&M have them in the Lincoln store so I assume they'd have them in other stores. The loaf tin one was only £1.99, I have seen them in Asda & Tesco for £5!!

They also had muffin ones and mini cake ones, oh and your thin circle one. All come in a variety of funky bright colours.

Morrisons in Lincoln also have the Thomas ice cube tray and Pooh Bear ones at 99p each.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, and also if this has already been posted, but I made this for my boyfriend last year and thought some of you might like it:

It's basically a crunchy mint chocolate slab, made by melting a big bar of milk chocolate and equal amounts of white chocolate in seperate bowls, then crushing up a lot of hard mint candies like humbugs, glacier mints etc or candy canes, mixing them in with the melted chocolates (save a little for the top) and swirling the two chocolates together. Then sprinkle the last candies on top, leave in the fridge to set. I put it in the bottom of a tupperware tub and it just popped out when set

. Then break into chunks, perfect in a little gift box or cello bags.

Lovely, thanks for that recipe.

Wow! This thread is amazing! loving all these beautiful chocolate creations! It has given me an idea for advent calenders for this xmas as I would make 100 individual packets to be opened every day for my four kids. I found it expensive last year trying to get 100 mini sweets

Thinking about having a go at these for christmas presents - have got loads of Easter egss left in the cupboard - do you think they would work? Was thinking I'd try it out and then if successful might get the kids to make them as Christmas presents for teachers - there seems to be so many of them it's getting very expensive so these would be ideal!

It's worth a try.

When did giving presents to teachers become common? My youngest is 17 and we've never given presents to teachers.

Thanks for bumping this - I'm going to have a read through this evening because I am planning on making a few of these as gifts and also for my pamper hampers!
