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????

what a fab idea ! :T :rotfl:

no heart ones in my store,my 5 yr old son could have made some for his little girlsfriend(s!) :rotfl:

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:

oooooooooooooooooooooooh loving that idea too ! :T

in the same vein, rice crispies would be a nice inclusion for a bit of crunch. or if you are making thick ones, maybe even revels/malteasers/aero bubbles :drool:

anyone else's waistline expanded yet?

a Q for the duck ( or anyone else in the know!) how do you go about getting a 2 colour choc marble effect ?

We have made some now. I had a silicon muffin tray with 6 spaces. So my son melted the chocolate 100g and split it between 2 muffin spaces. So 300g in total. He then decorated them with a tube of smarties between the 6 of them.
Asda smart price chocolate 23p x 3 and 35p for a tube of smarties. £1.04 in total
17 p each !!! bargain I had cellophane here from wrapping my hampers

Do you think I could do these in aluminium trays instead of the silicon ones?

I don't see why you couldn't, to be honest chocolate sets very quickly anyway, I made some reindeer cupcakes last Christmas and it was a real palava making their antlers!

i guess you'd put the two side by side, avoiding mixing as much as possible, then use something very fine (sich as a cocktail stick) to draw swirl through the chocolate.

experimentation is the way forward there me thinks
