You will need:

Ingredients:

• Good quality chocolate of your choice, in contrasting colours (such as dark and white chocolate)
• dried fruits, nuts or decorations of your choice

1

Line a baking tray with waxed baking parchment or a non-stick liner. Melt your chosen chocolate in a bain-marie (a heatproof bowl sitting over a pan of lightly simmering water), making sure no water comes into contact with the chocolate.

2

Chop your flavour additions such as cranberries and pistachios (so chic) smashed candy cane for minty retro appeal or chocolate coated coffee beans with walnuts, the choices are endless. We love ginger and freeze dried berries for extra zing!.

3

Allow the chocolate to cool a little then pour into your prepared tin and level to the depth you want, 0.75 to 1 cm is perfect as the thinner the more elegant the finished result.

4

Decorate with your chosen flavours and swirls of different chocolate or candy melt colours if desired. Leave to cool then snap into striking shards of chocolate heaven and try to share…
