There's a lovely recipe on the Good Housekeeping site, milk chocolate and white choc with crunchy peanut butter, all marbled, looks gorgeous.

Took me a while to find the right chocolate item but I think you meant this one?

The ingredients are JUST white chocolate, plain chocolate and crunchy peanut butter! Even a non-cook like myself should be able to manage it!
(Mind you I'm sure I could make a pigsear of the decoration without much effort! )

Thanks for the reminder, Edinburghlass, my husband has videoed it, I watched it and he snored through it! :rolleyes: One thing I noticed, which is relevant to this thread, was that whenever he melted choccie he grated it first using a hand grater. I've been grating mine - as my Choccie Treat Maker (which I may have mentioned before?) tells you to, but I always use a food processor - but then I'm no chef and find my fingers useful for typing this forum, to write about my chocolate making! ....

I think its a tip to bear in mind tho' as this chocolate 'expert' says 'it quickens the melting process'. (But he also injected melted chocolate into a pig :eek: and thats one tip I definately won't be trying! )

Excuse me....! I think if you REALLY want to have some choccie LouBlue, that you'd be best to have it in the conventional way - ie. no pigs involved! :rotfl:
