The Spanish school we are currently taking lessons with every day also holds heaps of activities for the students to get involved in. We have tried salsa dancing, attended a yoga class (which had a Peruvian grandma that spoke no English as the teacher and took place next door to a kid’s karate lesson which did nothing for our state of Zen!) but one activity we both enjoyed was the chocolate making class. It was so easy and fun to do it would make a great homemade gift or a way to keep your kids occupied on a rainy afternoon!
In a small group we sat down to the dreamy smells of melted chocolate that we proceeded to paint into the plastic moulds making sure that no light could get through. It was actually really therapeutic just relaxing and chatting to the other students who came from Germany, Switzerland and Holland.
Then you add whatever filling you want! We chose gooey caramel sauce and chopped peanuts kinda like a bite sized snickers bar then painted a thick layer of chocolate over the top to seal it all in. Pop this into the freezer for less than 10 minutes and then turn the mould upside down and pop them out. If you have any leftover chocolate then drizzle it over the nuts to make a chocolate nut brittle that can also set in the freezer. Simples!
This would also be a super easy Christmas present idea if anyone is thinking that far ahead yet?
