I think this one might take me a couple of attempts to get right! But it’s worth persevering as they taste yummy!
My jelly was a bit soft even though I made as per instructions so next time I think I’ll put less water in than it says so the jelly is former! Also the chocolate needs to be really cool to before spreading otherwise it just slides right off ? - I might make these in cupcake cases to make them neater or maybe make a giant one next time! X

Did you make this recipe?

Thanks for rating!
