 :lol:

Wasn't prepared to admit to that in case compostqueen was watching and told me off!
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

GrannieAnnie - they look wonderful - really impressive. My mouth is watering at the thought of them - chocolate is my downfall. You are really talented.  :)

If she sees me I'll have to duck down small

Oooowch

That's quite hard to do, due to all that chocolate I have now consumed  :ohmy:

You wouldn't say that Springy if you'd seen the state of me trying to keep 3 colours of chocolate warm with only one little heater!  I borrowed the chocolate heater from a friend, but liked it so much I have just bought one on Ebay with double melters!!!

I borrowed some of the moulds too, but I like the Lakeland silicon ones the best.  You don't have to oil the moulds, but the chocs turn out really easily and are so shiny!  They look really good.

I had more trouble with turning out the words and numbers.  Bits kept breaking off.  One of the 'N's' I had to re-do 3 times!  :(

I would have eaten all of the broken ones. It does sound like hard work but has turned out really well.

T***o! Cadbury's chocolate, only the bestest for my lovely eldest granddaughter!! lol

I'm looking online for cheaper supplier, but it has got to be decent chocolate, no good all that work and rubbish to eat eh?  :)

Took me around 7 hours in total as I had to keep waiting for one layer to solidify before I could put the next layer on!
