Chocolate things


My daughter made these, erm, chocolate things all by herself and I think they look smashing.

They are simple to make and the dough handles beautifully; it doesn't go greasy like some does, which is a blessing for the dramatic handling that my daughter can inflict on food!

They are a frugal recipe too, using minimal ingredients, so might become a family favourite. And if that isn't enough; they seem to last for ages without going off!

Chocolate things

Ingredients
  • 4 oz Self raising flour
  • 1 1/2 oz butter
  • few spoons full milk
  • Squares of sugar free chocolate - we used Plamil 'no added sugar' hemp chocolate which uses xylitol (from the birch tree) as a sweetener

Method
  • Rub the butter into the flour
  • Add enough milk until you get a soft dough
  • Break the dough into ping pong ball sizes and shape into rough rounds
  • Push a piece of chocolate into the top of each shape
  • Bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes
Do you have some favourite recipes that children can make?
