Prep time
20 mins
Ingredients
- Chilli Powder: a pinch of hot chilli powder
- Dark Chocolate: 200g dark chocolate (we used 70% cocoa content)
- Sea Salt: an eighth of a tsp flaky sea salt
- Pistachio: 25g pistachios, finely chopped
- Milk Chocolate: 200g milk chocolate (we used Green & Black's cook's chocolate with extra cocoa butter)
- White Chocolate: 200g white chocolate
- Edible Glitter: red edible glitter (we used splatcooking.com)
- Rose: crystallised rose petals (we used squires-shop.com)
Directions
- For the dark chilli drops: break the chocolate into chunks and melt in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Meanwhile, line a few flat baking trays with baking parchment. Once the chocolate has melted, stir in the chilli powder. Use a teaspoon to drop 'drops' of the chocolate onto the baking parchment. Every 10 or 20 drops, scatter over a small amount of red glitter before the chocolate sets. Leave to set in a cool place, but do not put in the fridge.
- For the salted pistachio drops: melt the chocolate and prepare baking parchment as before. Once the chocolate has melted, stir in the salt, then make drops as above, topping with chopped pistachios.
- For the white chocolate drops: carefully melt the chocolate as above. Make drops, as above. Once they are partially set, top each with a crystallised rose petal.
