Time 1h15m

Yield Makes about 200, enough for 20-40 gifts

Number Of Ingredients 8

200g dark chocolate (we used 70% cocoa content)
a pinch of hot chilli powder
red edible glitter (we used splatcooking.com)
200g milk chocolate (we used Green & Black's cook's chocolate with extra cocoa butter)
an eighth of a tsp flaky sea salt
25g pistachios , finely chopped
200g white chocolate
crystallised rosé petals (we used squires-shop.com)

Steps:

For the dark chilli drops: break the chocolate into chunks and melt in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Meanwhile, line a few flat baking trays with baking parchment. Once the chocolate has melted, stir in the chilli powder. Use a teaspoon to drop 'drops' of the chocolate onto the baking parchment. Every 10 or 20 drops, scatter over a small amount of red glitter before the chocolate sets. Leave to set in a cool place, but do not put in the fridge.
For the salted pistachio drops: melt the chocolate and prepare baking parchment as before. Once the chocolate has melted, stir in the salt, then make drops as above, topping with chopped pistachios.
For the white chocolate drops: carefully melt the chocolate as above. Make drops, as above. Once they are partially set, top each with a crystallised rose petal.
