We are now officially a full week into December, and with that has come a string of events that you'd find around Christmas or at the end of the year. For example, on Friday night I attended the inaugural New Bradford Playhouse Awards, and on Saturday night I attended my dad's choir Christmas concert. This week, I'm booked every night until Friday with a Christmas/winter concert dress rehearsal, the concert itself, a main show meeting, and a Christmas meal and theatre trip. In addition, I have an essay deadline and a user-testing lab for a website I've built. I'll be glad when it's Friday when I'm free to do a bit more of this other website I'm starting to build, read, and watch the pile of films I've been wanting to watch for several weeks (mainly Rent). I found the following recipe for rose and violet chocolate drops in the most recent (Christmas 2014) edition of the Tesco Food and Living magazine. It could be an ideal gift for friends!
Ingredients (to make 20)
100g (3 1/2 oz) plain chocolate, broken into pieces1/2 teaspoon rose water
1/4 sunflower oil
1-2 tablespoons violet crystals
Instructions
- Put the chocolate into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of shallow, gently simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted and glossy.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the rose water and sunflower oil. Set aside to cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper. Using a teaspoon, drop small rounds of chocolate onto the trays. When the rounds are just beginning to set, scatter over the violet crystals. Leave to set in a cool, dry place (but don't chill).
