INSTRUCTIONS
CRACKERS
TRUFFLES
TO ROLL IN
Melt the chocolate, fold in the praline. Now take a nut in a teaspoon
and roll in the chocolate until covered. Place on some greaseproof
paper to set.
Truffles:
Mix all the ingredients together to make a soft squidgy dough. Roll
into a ball, and then roll in the grated white chocolate.
You can also roll in nuts, cocoa or coat in melted chocolate and
leave to set on greaseproof paper.
Keep all the chocolates in the fridge until needed for the crackers.
As there is no cream in the chocolates they should keep for about 1
week quite well.
Crackers:
Wrap two of your chocolates in some cellophane and tie with a little
ribbon.
Take your handmade paper and measure it three times the length of the
tube and just wide enough to wrap around it with a small overlap. Now
cut another piece in a different colour paper or even some material
with pinking shears if you have them.
Wrap both pieces around the tube and hold together with an elastic
band. If you are using one, this is when you put in the cracker. Now
with the thread, tie one end gently to give the start of the cracker
shape. Pop in the chocolates and then do the same with the other end.
Tie some ivy around the middle of the cracker with a cinnamon stick
and vanilla pod.
