Hot chocolate candy canes
Unlimited access. Half the price.
Ingredients
300g chocolate broken into small even-sized pieces
cut out six cardboard discs that fit on top of each of the moulds, cut a hole in the centre of each
6 candy canes
6 small sheets of food-grade cellophane
6 short pieces of twine
6 small gift tags
Method
You will need silicone ice cube moulds approximately 50g in volume.
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl balanced over a saucepan of simmering water. Take care not to let any steam from the water into the chocolate or it may not melt properly.
Once it has melted, pour into the silicone moulds. Place a cardboard disc on top of each one and push the candy cane through the hole in the centre. The cardboard should allow the candy cane to stand up while the chocolate is hardening.
Allow the chocolate to harden in a cool place. Once it has set, gently remove each one from the mould and throw away the cardboard. It should look like a lollipop with a candy cane stick.
If you are giving them as gifts, wrap each one with food-grade cellophane and tie your gift tag onto it, instructing the recipient to stir into a mug of hot milk and allow the chocolate to melt.
