It's not too late. Why not make you own Easter eggs
WHEN Elke O’Mahony, foodie and founder of Bia Sásta, was asked to give a friend advice on buying chocolates for her wedding day favour boxes eight years ago, she worked out that the cost of 600 chocolates from a gourmet chocolate shop would be €300.
“Even though it wasn’t my money, I wasn’t prepared to let my friend pay that much,” said O’Mahony at a recent chocolate-making class in her kitchen in Grenagh near Blarney. O’Mahony spent a weekend working like a wizard in her kitchen making chocolates. “I came up with a couple of samples for the wedding. We decided on very simple cinnamon-flavoured truffles and white chocolate rum and coconut-flavoured truffles. I made 600 of them for €50.”
