Home made chocolate slabs

Like Rachie B, I too was inspired! So bought (£5!!) a silcione heart shaped muffin tin also from Tesco.

The kids made heart chocolates for their teachers and they all loved them to pieces! What a simple idea.

Can you get your daughter to come up with anything else thats this easy? Perhaps she could have a monthly slot here????

Aldi have Silicone trays on and off throughout the year for about £2 (I think!)
not sure if they have them in at the mo but worth using a cling filmed tray this year and picking one when they in for nxt yr :A

I did something slightly similar for Christmas last year. I used silicone ice-cube trays (star shapes and Christmas tree shapes), put a couple of little silver/coloured balls in the bottom, then topped with melted chocolate (white choc with a hint of mint flavouring, milk choc with orange flavouring, and dark chocolate).


When they were set I popped them out and put a couple of each colour in a little cellophane bag (had pretty gold stars on), tied the top with some gold ribbon and put them on the table for Christmas day.

This year I am adding a mini indoor sparkler when tying the ribbon because I'm a sucker for gimmicks and they're all in the shape of a star and go with the table theme! :rotfl:

I should also add that you could get around the butter issue if you melt the chocolate in a pyrex dish over a pan of boiling water. I have no idea where I got this from but that's how I melted my chocolate last year and it worked fine.

My first ones went a bit wrong, so I get to eat them! But then I insisted that my parakeet could not help and the next one seems to be going a bit better.

But I couldn't find cellophane anywhere! So I'm going to put them in plastic sandwich bags and decorate with ribbon.
