Evening

I was shopping today in ASDA and seen some of these flexible trays in the freezer section (obviously for making ice cubes) they were in sea shell shapes (they may have other shapes). I should have bought some and taken a photo of them to show you all! They were very reasonable too! About 75p!!!!

Ok, not heart shaped, but might suit someone!

i bought one of these for making choc`s just before xmas, they worked really well, used a mixture of white and milk belgium choc and swirled it round inside the mould, they popped out really easily and were just as nice(nicer) as the expensive choc shells you can buy !!:T

I bought some moulds yesterday from one fo the sites mentioned, they were on 342, Can't wait to get making some now but have no hampers needed until April so I will just have to wait. I will be ready though!!!

BTW of you are also into making hampers I picked up lots of glass tea light holders from Ikea yesterday reduced to 5p each!!!! BARGAIN

Thanks for the link Emma!! What did you put in yours? I'm thinking along the lines of melting chocolate into shapes and popping them into bags. These will be perfect!

I used them for homemade tablet for christmas and i had bought a some chocolates and split them between them too. Will be making my own chocs next time tho!

I was in Tesco last night looking for a bar of Galaxy, as you do, and saw their "posh" chocolate slabs, very small and one looking remarkably like Quacker's one with the Goji on top and it was £2 :eek:

I also spotted a silicon double ice tray for £2 similar to the one Emma posted a pic of earlier, but bigger, which will make square shaped chocolates

I bought 3 ice cube trays from Ikea - hearts, stars and bottles.
However when I got home I noticed they had 'for water only' printed on them and now I am nervous to use them!!!

My heart one is from Ikea that I made the heart shaped chocs in

It was fine.

If you are nervous you could always just do 2 or 3 in one tray first as a test run?

I'm sure they'll be fine though

Just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration! DS2 (13) was bemoaning the fact that you can't get a smarties chocolate bar anymore and that it is his favourite......then I saw this thread!!

It is his birthday in a few weeks, so I have experimented today, simply melted an ASDA smartprice choc bar and stirred in some smarties - poured into a heart ice cube tray and am now awaiting the results.

...Of course I'll have to eat these ones...research and all that!!

My heart shaped chocs went down really really well.

My daughter hasn't heard back from her friends - kids and all that

Hi Emma

Is that tablet stuff the menthol type stuff? Like cough candy? I love that stuff. If it is would you be willing to share your recipe, pretty please
