White chocolate snowflakes

These white chocolate snowflakes are pretty as a picture and a great "almost "craft recipe for older kids.

Ingredients

  • 1 200g block best quality white chocolate

  • silver cachous

Allergy Advice

Contains Dairy

Contains Gluten

Contains Soy

Equipment

  • 1 Heat-proof bowl
  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Snap-lock or piping bag
  • 1 Baking paper
  • 1 Snowflake stencil (printed)

Instructions

  1. Search online for a snowflake pattern that you like, repeat it on a blank document then print out.
  2. Melt the white chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Transfer to a snap-lock or piping bag.
  3. Lay a piece of baking paper over the snowflake stencil.
  4. Carefully snip a tiny corner from your bag of melted chocolate and pipe snowflakes onto the baking paper using stencils as a guide. Don't worry if the first one or two don't work out perfectly. This is a real case of trial and error; you'll soon figure out how much to squeeze the bag, how best to trace the pattern with chocolate – and the best thing is that any 'wobbly' ones will still taste delicious. Pop a silver cachou in the centre of each snowflake then set aside to set completely.

Notes

Swap white chocolate for milk chocolate or dark chocolate. Or use all three and marble together – fancy!
