Posh Leftovers – a DIY Chocolate Recipe

Can you believe I made that delectable, luxurious looking chocolate from cheap foil wrapped ornaments left over from the holidays?

Raid your baking cupboard and let’s get making:

Grab those cheapie (lactose free) chocolates + whatever yummy bits you have on hand.

My cupboards revealed ground hazelnuts, coconut, barberries, sea salt potato chips + a few remaining thin mint chocolates.

Snag a pot & pop a heat-safe bowl in the centre of it.

Break up all of your chocolate, place it in the bowl & then add enough water to the pot to cover the bottom half of the bowl.

Pop the pot onto the stove, boil the water to heat the bowl & melt the chocolate while stirring constantly.

quick tip: if your chocolate starts sticking to the bowl simply add a drop or two of lactose free milk to the mix

Once the chocolate is melted pour it out onto a sheet of waxed baking paper.

Spread it out into an even layer with a spatula.

Grab your tasty cupboard finds.

I crumbled my chips, coconut & nuts together for a savoury sweet taste sensation!

Sprinkle the yummy bits onto the melted chocolate, refrigerate until hard & then dig in to your luxuriously (cheap) chocolate treat!
