    Galaxy will be fine, you can use any kind of "normal" choc (my fave if Green and Black's Mayan Gold because it tastes if christmas :D
    you could try things like diabetic choc though I have no experience of it so not sure if it reacts like normal choc

    Good luck


    Thanks!:T

    I got these winnie the pooh and tigger ice cube trays from Tesco £1.75 each they also had piglet and eeyore ones

    I used them to decorate my son's birthday cake which I made myself (I'm so proud of myself!) I made them choc orange flavour by adding some "Super cook orange extract" (about a teaspoon in 250g of dairy milk)

    I got the tigger one in Wilkinsons to use as a chocolate mould too, but... mine were a disaster and came out with air gaps (if you know what I mean) how did you manage to get them so perfect?

    Hi, I have no experience of making chocolate but we did visit CadburyWorld and they showed/told you to shake the moulds from side to side and give them a gentle tap and this helped the air bubbles to come to the top.
    HTH :) FiFi

    I found some orange slice shaped silicone moulds and me and daughter were talking about how to get orange flavour choc cos it would make them perfect.

    You just did answer my question :)
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...
