    the pound shop had some silicon moulds in which could be useful for chocolate slabs-
    mini muffin cases
    teddy bear shape
    butterfly shape
    Hope this helps (I bought some!)

    I attempted to make a chocolate slab today, but it was a disaster,
    so i put the chopped up choc into the silicone loaf tin and melted it in the microwave,
    it turned out really well and is about 2 inches thick, i added smarties and marshmallows before it set and my hubby and son ate the whole thing before i could take a photo.
