..and so I got set to work on my own..
I followed the recipe from the blog mentioned above, I just added a little ground ginger to one of the batches and I used soft brown sugar instead of powdered sugar. I also contemplated using dark brown muscavado sugar, but wasn't sure how it would turn out..so am saving that experiment for a rainy day..
I sampled it out before hand..and oh my..what a treat it is..warming and cosy and chocolatey!..very Christmassy :)
After a mega serving of this magical stuff, I then got started on decorating the jars and made as Christmas gifts for mi dear ma and also nan and granadad...
I also made a few cards for close friends and family too, I hadn't set on sending out any cards this year, but once I got started with the homemade hot chocolate gift..I felt the urge for more crafty Christmas making coming on..
...then I felt the urge for more chocolate making!..
I made this batch with macadamia nuts, the full recipe can be found here.. http://www.wutherswebofcakes.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/raw-chocolates.html
I then wrapped and decorated them in separate tubs to give to friends for Christmas gifts...
with a little loving help from my butterfly friends..
and I was so good I never ate one..not one...or two..or three...
..promise!
;)
Happy Solstice and Merry Chocolatey Christmas!
