Home made chocolate slabs

qwiksave

I have to confess that I had a go at icing tonight and as I've said before I'm no chef - so made a right pigsear of the bar with the 'I Love You' writing on that I made last night. I tried to put some fancy scroll on it (to cover the fact it had gone a bit white in the fridge) and basically it went[STRIKE] 't*ts up' [/STRIKE]a bit wrong - so they'll be no photo of that then!

I've had some successes tonight tho' so I'll take pictures of those tomorrow (night time photography isn't the best) using little marshmallows, hundreds & thousands and glittery Barbie icing tubes (even I couldn't make a mess with those!);) Plain heart biscuits also went OK. The chocolate hearts are not setting though (which is why I'm still up!) because I don't want to put them in the fridge in case they go white like my others. Ooh, what to do!....

(EDIT to say have given up and put 'em in the fridge, I just want to go to bed! Waah!)

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

I have just made my heart chocs - mixture of white, milk and dark choc. Put a smartie on the top of some and some chilli in the dark ones (will let you know what they turn out like when OH has tasted them). I also mixed some milk and white and layered some. They are now in the fridge setting. Hope they won't take too long cos I want to see what they are like:D

Your valentine will love it.
