Festive flavours and chocolate: a perfect home-made Christmas gift
Ingredients
400g white chocolate
400g plain chocolate
8 glace cherries, halved or quartered
1 handful dried cranberries
1 handful dried mixed peel
Edible glitter stars
*you can also add nuts- I prefer the colour of pistachio- but I was making this for the children's teachers and they are in a NutFree School.*
Instructions
Melt the plain chocolate in your usual way (I put mine in a pan on the back of the Aga and forget about it)
Pour melted chocolate into a lined tin about 20cm square
Leave to set a little, then whilst it's half-set, melt the white chocolate in a clean pan or bowl.
Meanwhile, sprinkle the gubbins over your semi-set plain chocolate, arranging the bits so that every bite will have a bit of fruit in it.
Pour over melted white chocolate and gently even out to the edges, pushing with the back of a spoon or spatula, but being gentle so as not to move all the fruit.
Sprinkle with glitter stars.
Leave to set completely then break into pieces a bit like you would with toffee, wrap beautifully and set out to meet your new best friends.
