Giant Chocolate Buttons

We did some baking this afternoon.  I use the term loosely :)

I got the kids to draw some circles on baking parchment using some jar bottoms as a template - they used a big black marker so that they could still see it easily when the parchment was turned over.

I then melted 100g of dairy milk, and in separate bowl, 100g of white crispy chocolate (it was supposed to be just normal white, but the Co-op didn't have any other sort).

I then dropped a blob of the melted chocolate into each circle the kids had drawn and let them spread the chocolate out using a clean paintbrush.

We then covered them with sprinkles and put the parchment on a chopping board and then into the fridge to set.


Voila!  Easy peasy, not too messy, the kids enjoyed doing it and there is no way you can muck up the taste because it's still Dairy Milk at the end of the day :)

  2. they were really easy to do and the kids enjoyed "painting" with chocolate. The same section in the magazine had a kids' recipe for melting middle chocolate puddings - I'm going to make them at some point so I'll let you know how they come out.
