Nothing says ‘I Love You’ more than a gift made with your own fair hands, and if it involves chocolate, all the better! These delicious chocolate stirrers are perfect for hot chocolate lovers, or for those who simply enjoy dipping something sweet in their tea or coffee… They are super easy to make and you could even personalise them with your own topping ideas.
Makes 12 stirrers
Ingredients:
- 200g dark chocolate – chopped
- Vegetable oil to grease the tray
Toppings:
- Malteasers – chopped
- Mini marshmallows
Equipment:
- Ice cube tray
- Skewers or lollypop sticks (trimmed wooden skewers are fine)
Method:
1/ Grease the ice cube tray with the oil to prevent the chocolate from sticking.
2/ Melt the chocolate, then pour into the ice cube tray. Add your toppings, then place the skewers in the centre of each cube.
3/ Allow the chocolate to set in the fridge overnight.
4/ Once set, remove the chocolate stirrers from the tray and stir into 200ml of hot milk to create an indulgent hot chocolate. (or simply use them as a sweet treat to dip in any hot drink!)
