Setting time about 3 hours

A selection of decorations, such as fudge pieces, sugar strands, edible shimmer pearls,
chocolate vermicelli, white chocolate decorating stars or edible glitter

chocolate has melted, remove from the heat and stir in the fudge pieces. Immediately
divide this mixture between the ten ice cube compartments. It will approximately half fill

Remove from the ice cube tray and parcel up, individually, into cellophane bags, tied
