You will need:
- 200g of good quality dark chocolate
- 15cl (150g) of single cream
- 2 teaspoons of honey
- 25g of butter
- 80g of cacao powder (you can use hot chocolate powder but cacao powder works better visually)
- Reindeer Poop name tags
Dashing through the snow!
Step 1
Break the chocolate into squares. Place in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water and melt it about halfway. (Resist the urge to simply lick the bowl…)
Step 2
Add honey and cream to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Take off the heat right away or you might make it “snow” in your kitchen.
Step 3
Pour honey and cream mixture over chocolate. Add the butter. Now, whisk it all together until it’s lovely and shiny. You’ve made ganache!
Step 4
Cover the ganache with cling film, making sure the film is against the surface. Then put it in the fridge for at least an hour.
Step 5
While the mixture cools, fill out those name tags.
Step 6
Scoop the ganache out with a spoon. The size of poop is up to you, but smaller ones mean more to share. Roll it into a ball and then cover with the cacao powder.
Step 7
Scoop that reindeer poop into a clear bag and add a ribbon and a tag. There you have it – a simple and cheeky homemade gift.
