Look how simple those ingredients are — just look at ’em! These little beauties are fun to make, gorgeous to look at, and drool-worthy in flavour. (They’re a little nutritious too, but that’s beside the point.)

Step 1

-
Step 3
Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil. Remove from heat and place chocolate in a small bowl, over the hot water. Leave it here for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until chocolate has melted.
-
