Do it your self

thank you hun will need to copy and paste this into my emails so i don't lose it great way of making them, might make some for familly and wrap them in nice cellowrap with pretty ribbon, may i ask how long they will keep?

Imake them, keep them in the fridge until I give them away, and they last about 2 or 3 months!

2 or 3 months!? Wow, you have willpower, they wouldn't last 2 or 3 minutes in my fridge

Tiggertea that is fab!!

My nan kept hers for a few months, that's how I know...they last about a week here!! Though, I do have a tupperware tub that keeps calling my name, full of them in the fridge!

oooh, how did it all go? was it quite easy did you find? Hope it turns out well, post a pic for me when they're done?

I haven't rolled them into balls yet but what I have done was really easy and omg when I added the chocolate the smell was amazing
It's gone quite stiff now so I think it's good so far.
Will post a picture tomorrow when they are finished. I doubt they will look as nice as yours

 

[JellyBeann]

Awh good, I am glad it's gone okay so far! The smell is amazing, isn't it?

Here's my truffles

Like I said they are a bit of a mess Thank you for the recipe, it's delicious!

 

[JellyBeann]

They still look yummy!! (Make sure your water isn't boiling when you melt the chocolate, just simmering)

 

[~RedLily~]

Yeah I think it might have been too hot, I'll try again another time

Hi girls,

I bought a mug today for my mam and I want to put something in and wrap it in cellophane. What sort of things have you put in? All I can think is chocolate but what kind? And how do you do it when you put hot choc and marshmallows in? Do you put them in separate bags saying as you only need a little bit to make a mug of hot choc. Pics would also be appreciated

 

[lynne192]

what i do is i buy the single use hotchocolate packs that allow for one mug to be made put about 2-3 of them in the mug, buy mini marshmallows and make a little cellophane pouch put them in it then add a candy cane and also a mini bar of nice chocolate such as mini lint or something usually you can buy them in the chocolate part of supermarkets they are usually not tooo dear and also they are great for a wee sampler with the tea or coffee thats other things you can put in his single wrapped tea bags or single use coffee packs they are usually pretty good depending on what your mum likes and then wrap it all with cellowrap and nice ribbons and curl the ribbon x

hope this helps xx

 

[Broody85]
