Time 13m

Yield makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 3

sunflower oil, for greasing
300g dark, milk or white chocolate (or a mixture), broken into squares
selection of chocolate buttons, hundreds and thousands, mini fudge pieces or chopped peppermint candy canes

Steps:

  • You will need:6 cupcake cases, pencil, pastry brush, 6 empty 47g fromage frais pots (washed and dried), 6 wooden lolly sticks, cellophane and string or ribbon for wrapping, 6 gift tagsPush a small hole in the middle of the cupcake cases with a pencil and put aside for later.
  • Dip the pastry brush in the sunflower oil and paint a very thin layer of oil over the insides of the fromage frais pots.
  • Put the chocolate in a bowl and heat in the microwave in 30-sec bursts until runny, stirring after each blast. Or melt it in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (get an adult to help you). If you're using different types of chocolate, you should melt them separately.
  • Carefully pour the melted chocolate into the pots. Put a lolly stick in the middle of each and sprinkle your chosen decorations around it.
  • Sit a cake case on top of each pot so that it covers the chocolate and the stick pokes through the hole. Put them in the fridge to set overnight.
  • The next day, carefully pull the chocolates out of the pots and throw away the paper cases. Wrap each in cellophane tied with string and write a tag to read: 'Simply stir into hot milk.'
