  • thanks to everyone who has posted about this, I decided to bite the bullet and make some for my OH.

    I got the ice cube trays from tesco in the shape for love hearts awww, and some sprinkly things to go on top and I had a go with my daughters to make some.

    I had them all lying on a plate yesterday for oh coming in from work, they come out really well :beer: and i said to the girls to show their daddy what they had made for him, and he went aww they are good, where did you buy them from :eek: I said buy them ? I made them ;) and he said no you didnt :rotfl: so when he went into the kitchen and see the ice cube trays he believed me :rotfl: When i came in from work last night he had left me one, and him and the girls had eaten the rest, so they went down well :T

    I WAS THINKING OF MAKING SOME GIFTS FOR PEOPLE AND THOUGHT OF MAKING HONEYCOMB (sorry just realised i'd left the caps shift on !!)

    Do you think i could use the moulds for honeycomb and then covering with chocolate :D

    I'm pretty sure I once saw a chef somewhere on telly making honeycomb and then putting it in a silicone mould so I guess it should work

  • Ahh! Why are they not coming up as a pic in the post? I am clueless lol!
  • JellyTot those are brilliant! Well done! They are so neat... its great to see the chocs made from white choccie.

    Did you crush smarties for the tops??
  • Aww thanks princesspoppypop! Those are crushed smarties on some of them :) Annoyingly I ran out of freezer-sealed bags to help me crush the smarties so I had to use a sharp knive! Which took quite a while and was rather scary.
    I think I may have cracked the image problem, going to try one last time:
