MAKE A CHOCOLATE BAR

Have a go at making this bonkers chocolate-y treat, it makes the perfect gift. You can tailor your bars to suit your particular preferences, trade jelly sweets for dried fruit and granola, or even go crazy and add salted snacks instead of sweet. With nothing to weigh out or measure you don’t need a lot of time or equipment, so let your creativity take over!

YOU WILL NEED:

– 100 g milk chocolate

– 100 g white chocolate

– marshmallows

– popcorn

– smashed cookies

– jelly sweets

– sprinkles

– saucepan

– water

– 2 heatproof glass bowls (these need to fit into the pan you are using)

– wooden spoon

– 2 teaspoons

– small baking tray

– kitchen foil

– oven gloves

– a helpful adult

METHOD

STEP 1:

Line a small baking tray with kitchen foil and put it to one side.

STEP 2:

Fill a saucepan with water, to a depth of roughly 4 cm.

STEP 3:

Break up the milk chocolate and white chocolate bars into two heatproof bowls.

STEP 4:

Place the bowl of milk chocolate into the saucepan of water. Then place the saucepan onto the hob. On a low heat, stir the chocolate with a wooden spoon and wait for it to melt.

STEP 5:

Take the pan off the heat. Ask an adult to help you use a teaspoon to spoon out the chocolate onto the baking tray. Leave spaces between each blob.

STEP 6:

Wearing oven gloves so you don’t burn your hands, remove the empty milk chocolate bowl from the pan. Now put the bowl of white chocolate in the saucepan of water and melt it using the same method as before.

STEP 7:

With a clean teaspoon and a helpful adult, spoon out the white chocolate and fill all the gaps you left between the milk chocolate blobs.

STEP 8:

Marble the milk and white chocolate by gently mixing them together with the back of your teaspoon. Make sure you stop mixing before they have completely merged.
