    Thank you LouBlue I'm glad you like them! For the topping I found a pack of Barbie Fun Sprinkles in Tesco it's all in one container with seperate sections the flowers, hearts and sugar sprinkles in 2 different colours it cost £1.89, I put the topping on about 15mins after putting the chocolate in the moulds. I'm so pleased!!!:j

    they are great! I haven't made any with topping yet but was quite pleased with my plain ones. I am going to make the 'real' ones tomorrow morning and will use toppings.
    OH just saw the ones from today in the fridge and said "you should use milk and white chocolate and mix the two". Little does he know how much time I spend on here, how many ideas I have got from everyone and that was what I was planning to do tomorrow:D

    I got the thermometer I ordered so i haev just tried tempering some chocolate. Its now in the freezer setting. I am hoping for a good result. But I must say this chocolate is just Tescos cheap stuff so it probably is not the best stuff to use. I will have to get some good stuff for thursday when I make the real ones!

    hels they look amazing, I love how you packaged the cookies. Daddy's going to love those.:j

    I have some chocs in moulds at the mo, didn't have a prob last time but now I can't get them out, I just broke one, hehe guess where it is now?
    Maybe I'm just being impatient, if they're not out by midnight I'm getting me a spoon and having dessert:rotfl:
