    Thanks for the great idea!!! Quackers, tell your daughter she's very clever :)

    I don't have any silicone "tins" but I'm sure it would be easy enough to line ordinary tins with clingfilm so the slab would be easy to remove :)

    My boy has an allergy to soya which is in most chocolate. I often see these chocolate bars in shops and wish I could buy them for him. having seen this I think I will make one with special soya free chocolate drops. What a fab simple idea, thanks.

    I was thinking along similar lines ramblingspider, cuz me muvva is diabetic.
    She loves Thornton's chocolate, so might find the time to make a few little ones before Tuesday!! Mind you, I've got a 20min car journey in either direction to get to a Thornton's....hmmm...perhaps save it for Mothers Day in March!
    Thanks for sharing Quackers & ask the Duckiling to get her thinking cap on for more ideas!!!
