Hubby has been away for a few days but he hadn’t forgotten it was Valentines Day – I had a call at 9am this morning telling me to look under the settee and there it was… a card together with a large box of Milk Tray…ahhhhh.
It was lucky for me that he was a few hours away as it gave me chance to first organise a card for him (homemade)…
and then a cardboard tray…
decorated…
whilst making a slab of chocolate on a lined baking tray.
Before it sets throw in nuts, fruit and crystallised ginger at one end and toffee pieces, honeycomb and chocolate chips at the other. Melt some white chocolate and with a spoon flick across the tray haphazardly…
Just before the chocolate sets hard cut out heart shapes with a metal cutter and lay them on baking parchment, then use up the left over white chocolate by pouring into the heart cutter. Cool in the fridge for a while. When set remove from the mould and warm the back of a spoon to run over the heart then coat with sprinkles…
Lay the chocolates on the decorated tray and cover with cellophane…
Then just time to hide them away and rush to put a bit of lippy on before he turns into the driveway…
Happy Valentines Day

Gosh that’s clever – we shan’t tell him it was so last minute! I hope he enjoyed the chocs and shared them with you?

We are just sampling them now whilst huddled up by the fire watching the re-run of William and Mary.

They look beautiful. And yummy. And frugal! So much better than store-bought with all the excess packaging that ends in landfill.

That is a wonderful gift with much more thought than something shop bought. I love the idea of using up the white chocolate to make an extra heart too! A lovely gift and one I may copy!!! x

That white chocolate heart makes the gift (but then again, I’m partial to white!)
