Dopey me wonders if you have to let the choccie set a little before putting the toppings on or do I just bung em on straight away

They look great, like them posh hotel chocolate things :j

Well done little quackers

Hello you

she says let it set a little.

She put them on almost straight away and some of the smarties 'sunk'

I thought they might "sunk" (well ok, I didn't have a clue really!)

I was thinking of baking up a batch of gingerbread people and then personalising them to suit the receiver. Anyone got any good recipes for gingerbread?

And there can be so many variations on the toppings to I imagine.

see, I'm finding that really funny.

Because she's 13 going on 24 so when I tell her that she will do this > and walk away.

You're right though.

Shes done a lovely job and I'm sure they're going to love them.

Thank you for posting this as I brought a silicone tray specially for my daughters/me to use way back in October (after seeing a thread on here about choccie slabs last christmas) and forgot all about it

mmmmmmmmm I'm going to make a flake and malteser one for my sister
one drizzled with white chocolate and dark choccie for my dad
and a dried fruit/cranberry and nut one for my oh
and uummmm which one for me ?

If you're after ideas to make for "grown ups" take a look here

I googled and got lots of ideas....strawberries, bananas, honeycomb etc etc.

In a past thread on chocolate slabs people have made them in baking trays after putting in a clingfilm lining, and this was successful too if you havent a silicone tray.


Thanks again
