Chocolate Conkers

Do you enjoy collecting Conkers, Hazelnuts & Acorns? We do too but we also love this alternative idea.

We decided we were going to make some yummy chocolate conkers…

We used:
A box of Toffifee
A bar of milk chocolate
Half a bar of Caramac chocolate
Skewers
String

Here’s how did it.

First we heated the chocolate button on our Toffifee for a few seconds until soft, placed a skewer in the middle and then pushed the two halves together, the softened chocolate acted like glue… We left them for 15 minutes in the fridge to harden back up.

Then we dipped our Toffifee skewers into the melted chocolate. We left them to harden back up in the fridge..

AND THEY WERE READY!!!
