Growing up birthdays in our household always involved the making of top hats. I have extended this to Christmas also and made the first Christmas batch a few nights ago for hubby. They are very easy to make with young children also.
Ingredients needed: Chocolate buttons (or a block of chocolate), marshmallows, pebbles, tiny little round paper cases.
Melt the chocolate (only need about half a pack of chocolate melts if you have a packet of Pascall’s marshmallows). Place about a teaspoon full of melted chocolate in a paper case – should be about half full. Place a marshmallow in the middle of the chocolate. Do this for all the paper cases. Then take a pebble and pop it on top of the marshmallow, attaching it with a little spot of chocolate. Place in the fridge to harden.
Traditionally we always made these with milk chocolate but hubby has been nagging me to make them with white chocolate so I gave it a try the other night. Definitely only to be tried if you have an incredibly sweet tooth!!
