Wacky Woollies Chocolate Sheep In A Can

Product Information

I know they’re simple and I’m probably telling you something you already know, but these are here for my children and for all those young people out there stepping out into the world who DON’T KNOW HOW TO MAKE A CHOCOLATE KRISPIE CAKE! Our white chocolate contains a minimum of 36% cocoa butter, the natural fat that is cold-pressed from the cacao bean. This, mixed with full cream milk powder and sugar, gives Woolliam a delectably smooth melt and a mellow flavour. His pink nose is coloured with natural dyes - we use nothing artificial in our chocolates, ever.

Then the chocolate sheep are produced, as well as chocolate love hearts, butterflies and frogs. "Making soap was my first love but there was a time I was shuttling between the two, soap and chocolate" says Sister Genevieve. Cheek by jowl with the soapery is the chocolate kitchen, which used to be the home economics classroom. The smell is immediate, so rich and sweet, I want to dive right in. Fortunately, Valentina, the professional chocolatier who runs the kitchen is on hand with a plate of samples, including dark chocolate with mint jam (the mint grown in the Abbey garden) and milk chocolate with pistachio. With the left over fondant, use an even smaller oval shape to cut out the ears. If you need to, gather the access fondant into a ball and roll it out again to get another thin layer.

What could be better than a startled sheep perched on top of a cupcake? These little treats are really easy to make and as a bonus, completely delicious! I made a batch of my ultra-moist chocolate cupcakes, smeared some vanilla buttercream on then placed my marshmallows. Boom, 95% done! The faces come together in a snap but if possible make them a day ahead so they can dry out. There are many great occasions to gift Welsh chocolate. Chocolate is something to be shared, making it the perfect gift many times throughout the year. Send the Welsh Sayings chocolate bar to a friend, and they are sure to love the Welsh touch alongside the delicious chocolatey taste.

Once your cupcakes have cooled, grab your piping bag filled with buttercream and pipe it onto your cupcake. Use a small paint brush to gently brush a small amount of water onto the fondant where you want the ears and eyes to be. During the Second World War, Rowntree’s stopped producing KitKats (or Chocolate Crisps, as they were more commonly called at the time) to focus on manufacturing munitions. But factory workers and their families missed KitKats so much that some tried hand-making their own unauthorised version. They filled moulds with strips of Ryvita and poured in dark chocolate that had been made for soldiers’ rations. 10.
