During December we will be adding a small chocolate gift to our orders, which we hope will be used to try out one of our delicious recipe ideas found below.
If you don’t like or can’t eat chocolate you can always give your creation as a gift to someone special you think would enjoy it.
The recipes are relatively simple and quick to make, but if you don’t feel for making anything the chocolate is also perfectly tasty on its own.
All the recipes require that you to melt the chocolate. This can be done in the microwave or on the stove.
With microwave:
Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, take out and stir, then heat for another 30 seconds and stir. Heat for an additional 10 seconds if it hasn’t melted completely.
Without microwave:
Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a glass bowl. Bring a pot of water to boil and remove it from the heat. Place the bowl above the pot and ensure the water doesn’t touch the bowl. Stir until the chocolate has melted.
We recommend to use a microwave if possible as this is the easiest option.
