Home made chocolate slabs

Excellent idea, we're making bags of peppermint creams, home made after eights and not these too!

Can anyone think what to use if you don't have a silicone tray. Not sure cling-film would work as the chocolate would just run flat......

In the past, we have used a baking tray lined with baking paper.

This year bought a few silicone mounds from poundshop.

Started on these yesterday with butterscotch bits on top. Need to do a fruit and nut shop for more today. Also did chocolate drops which are super easy and obviously take a lot less chocolate. The pistachio and the bright pink edible glitter ones looked the best I think. Working my way through the £1 Thorntons easter egg chocolate.

How long will these last? Only I would like to make my brother a few different ones for christmas, and I have to post them to him along with his pressies. Just wondered if I could start them soon?

It melts very quickly in your hand. But doesn't matter if it goes straight to your mouth!

Thanks for the tempering vid, planning to make the slabs with my 5 yo god daughter in 2 weeks, thanks for the other idea of the mini chocolates, using ice cube trays love it! gonna get popping candy for those.

I am planning on making chocolate slabs for my friends and whilst out today, one of them commented they love Sicilian Lemon chocolates.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can incorporate this into a chocolate slab? Or even what I would use?
